EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the intensity of the Siege of Derry in 1689, a pivotal moment in Irish and British history. The scene depicts Jacobite forces, loyal to the deposed King James II of England and VII of Scotland, laying siege to the city of Derry, also known as Londonderry, in what is now Northern Ireland. The Catholic Jacobites aimed to cut off the vital supplies needed by the Protestant defenders, who were supporting the new rulers, William III of Orange and Mary II, the Protestant daughter of James II. The siege, which lasted an arduous 105 days from 18 April to 1 August 1689, was a significant turning point in the Williamite War in Ireland. The tenacious resistance of the Protestant defenders, who held out against the superior Jacobite forces, boosted morale and galvanized support for the new regime. The siege is still commemorated annually by the Protestant community in Derry. The image portrays the Jacobite besiegers, their faces set with determination, constructing a makeshift fortification and preparing to launch an assault on the city walls. In the background, the smoke from their cannons rises ominously, while the blockade of the Foyle River is evident, with ships anchored to prevent the entry of supplies to the besieged city. The siege of Derry marked the beginning of the end for the Jacobite cause in Ireland and was a crucial victory for the Williamite forces.
