EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of Fenian weapons from the 19th century, as depicted in The Illustrated London News published in 1865. With its horizontal layout and detailed illustration, this historical image transports us back to an era filled with intrigue and rebellion. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly the array of spiked weaponry on display. Each weapon serves a specific purpose, whether it be catching or bridling opponents during combat. Amongst these formidable tools are pikes, commonly associated with Irish history and used by Fenians to assert their resistance against British rule. One cannot help but marvel at the craftsmanship evident in these old Welsh weapons. The barb-pointed spikes exude both elegance and danger simultaneously, representing a significant part of Ireland's rich heritage. As we delve into this archival gem, we gain insight into the tactics employed by Fenian cavalry during their fight for independence. The common ring bayonet stands out as an essential tool that played a crucial role in battles fought throughout Ireland. This print not only offers a glimpse into history but also sparks curiosity about the people who wielded such powerful instruments. It reminds us of our collective past and encourages further exploration into Ireland's complex struggle for freedom
