EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "His First!, 1885" takes us back to the turbulent times of Irish campaigns of violence in the late 19th century. The image portrays a scene where security at public buildings is tight, and suspicion lingers in the air. A barrister, donning his traditional wig, finds himself under scrutiny as a vigilant policeman questions him about his briefcase. The cartoon-like illustration captures the essence of distrust and tension prevalent during that era. The meticulous attention to detail by Charles Samuel Keene allows us to immerse ourselves in this historical moment. The intricate lines and shading bring life to each character, emphasizing their roles within society. The composition not only highlights the profession of law but also reflects upon broader political concepts and themes such as violence and security measures. It serves as a reminder of Ireland's troubled past while shedding light on the challenges faced by individuals living through those tumultuous times. As we gaze upon this heritage image partnership between Charles Samuel Keene and Unknown creator, we are transported back to an era when men like this barrister played crucial roles in shaping their country's destiny. This thought-provoking print invites us to ponder on how our present-day notions of security have evolved from these historical circumstances while appreciating the artistic brilliance captured within its frame.
