EDITORS COMMENTS
98 Memorial, Wicklow: A Glimpse into the Past Nestled in the heart of County Wicklow, Ireland, stands the 98 Memorial, a poignant testament to the past. This evocative photograph, taken circa early 1900s, offers a captivating view of the monument as it once appeared, surrounded by lush greenery and a serene atmosphere. The 98 Memorial is a significant landmark in Wicklow town, a place rich in history and heritage. The monument was erected in memory of the 98 men from the area who lost their lives during the Fenian Rising of 1867. The uprising, led by the Irish Republican Brotherhood, was an attempt to establish an independent Irish republic and gain home rule. The monument, designed by the renowned Irish architect, Sir Thomas Newenham Deane, is a striking example of Neo-Classical architecture. Its imposing columns and intricate details reflect the grandeur and significance of the event it commemorates. The memorial is adorned with the inscription, 'In memory of the 98 men of Wicklow who fell in the Fenian Rising, 1867.' This photograph, taken over a century ago, transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the scene as it once was. The quiet town of Wicklow, the rolling hills, and the tranquil atmosphere all contribute to the sense of history and tradition that surrounds the 98 Memorial. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the rich history and heritage that Ireland holds, and the sacrifices made by those who fought for their beliefs. The 98 Memorial stands as a symbol of resilience, courage, and the enduring spirit of the Irish people.
