Outside the National Rent Office after the arrest of O Brien and Dillon, Loughrea, Ireland, 1887
Outside the National Rent Office after the arrest of O Brien and Dillon, Loughrea, Ireland, 1887. A scene during the Irish Land League agitation. Founded in 1879, with Charles Stewart Parnell as its president, the Irish Land League campaigned on behalf of tenant farmers with the intention of reducing rents to a fair level. Its ultimate objective was to provide tenants with the opportunity of owning the land they worked on. The League organised rent strikes, which led to evictions by police acting on behalf of landlords in what became known as the Land War, which lasted from 1880 until 1892.. A print from The Illustrated London News, 1st January 1887

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful scene outside the National Rent Office in Loughrea, Ireland, in 1887. The arrest of O Brien and Dillon during the Irish Land League agitation is depicted here, showcasing a moment of intense confrontation between the police and an angry crowd. The Irish Land League, established in 1879 with Charles Stewart Parnell as its president, fought for fair rents and land ownership rights for tenant farmers. Their efforts led to rent strikes and subsequent evictions by police acting on behalf of landlords, sparking what became known as the Land War from 1880 to 1892. In this image, we witness a metaphorical clash between law enforcement and those fighting for their rights. The men present represent various professions and backgrounds but are united in their rage against an unjust system. The monochrome setting adds to the intensity of the moment captured. Located in County Galway's Connacht region, Loughrea serves as a backdrop to this historic event that shaped Ireland's political landscape during the late nineteenth century. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on January 1st, 1887. As we observe this snapshot from history through the lens of time, it reminds us of both the resilience of ordinary people facing adversity and their determination to fight for justice amidst social unrest.
