EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Costume of the Pagan Irish in the post-Roman era" from 1821. The engraving, created by Charles Hamilton Smith and handcolored by R. Havell, depicts an initiation ceremony into the Helio-arkite religion. In this scene, we see an Irish Druid priest called hydramus, who serves as a minister of the sea, wearing a white stole. Accompanying him is a herald bard dressed in striped trousers (truise), tunic (cotaigh), and a striped hood (cochal). They are joined by a baby and an Irish wolf-hound. The background reveals a gowlan temple and barr-chean pillar, adding to the mystical ambiance of this ancient ritual. This image comes from Samuel Meyrick's book titled "Costume of the Original Inhabitants of the British Islands" published in London in 1821. The attire worn by these figures represents traditional costume design during that time period and offers insight into Celtic culture and pagan practices prevalent among native populations in Ireland. It provides us with glimpses into their customs, traditions, and religious beliefs. This enchanting engraving transports us back to early 19th-century Europe when ancientness was celebrated through ceremonial gatherings like this one. It serves as a reminder of our rich history and cultural heritage while highlighting Britain's connection to its Celtic roots.
