EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by James Howard Burgess in the mid-late 19th century, transports us to the picturesque village of Glenarm in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The image showcases the stunning landscape and fortifications that define this historic location. Glenarm Castle stands proudly amidst the enchanting countryside, its grandeur a testament to the rich history of this region. However, behind its beauty lies a somber reminder of the past - an outbreak of cholera that plagued Glenarm in 1854. This devastating disease left an indelible mark on the town and its inhabitants. Burgess's engraving skillfully captures not only the physical features but also conveys a sense of resilience within these walls. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are reminded of both the fragility and strength inherent in human existence. The print is brought to us by Marcus Ward & Co. , renowned publishers during that era. It serves as a window into a bygone era when photography was still evolving as an art form. Through Burgess's lens, we catch glimpses of daily life against a backdrop shaped by geography and history. As we reflect on this remarkable piece from Heritage Images' collection, let us appreciate how it connects us with our ancestors' struggles while reminding us of their endurance and determination to overcome adversity.
