EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print titled "Erin go bray, engraving 1799" captures the essence of Irish pride and longing for a union with England. The image showcases an Irish field officer mounted on his majestic charger, exuding strength and determination. Alternatively, it portrays an Irishman sitting atop a donkey, holding a lance while the donkey brays in protest. The humorous inscription beneath the illustration humorously expresses the desire for unity with either an English bull or cow, emphasizing the frustration towards priests and proctors who seemingly left them without even a potato to share. The engraved image is beautifully crafted in a retro-styled manner that evokes nostalgia for bygone eras. It reflects Victorian art culture and illustrative techniques prevalent during that time period. This historical artwork serves as a window into Ireland's past, offering insights into its traditions and struggles. With its aged appearance and traditional style, this print embodies historic charm and romanticism. It transports viewers back to an era when such engravings were highly valued forms of artistic expression. As part of Liszt Collection's extensive archive of historic art pieces, this engraving holds immense cultural significance. Its presence adds depth to any collection or space dedicated to preserving our rich heritage.
