EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1821 depicts Irish Brehons and Filidhs, or judges, during the Roman era. Created by Charles Hamilton Smith and engraved by R. Havell, this print showcases the traditional attire and customs of these ancient Irish figures. The image features a Brehon draped in a cloak, coat, pantaloons, and a biorrad (cap), carrying laws engraved on bark. Accompanying him is a Filidh, an assistant judge dressed similarly. Both men are handcoloured in vibrant hues to bring their costumes to life. Intriguingly, an Irish wolf-hound stands beside them—a symbol of strength and loyalty that adds depth to the scene. This engraving was part of Samuel Meyrick's "Costume of the Original Inhabitants of the British Islands" publication in London. It offers us a glimpse into Ireland's rich history and cultural heritage during this period. With its attention to detail and historical accuracy, this artwork transports us back in time to witness these esteemed judges as they carry out their duties within Celtic society. As we admire this piece today, it serves as a reminder of our connection to our ancestors' traditions while also celebrating the diversity and uniqueness of Irish culture throughout history.
