EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment in history, depicting a friar encouraging an Irish thief to rebel against Queen Elizabeth I. The image is inspired by John Derrickes' "The Image of Ireland" and has been beautifully reproduced from the book "Short History of the English People" by J. R. Green, published in London in 1893. In this scene, we witness the last fight of an Irish chief, Shane O'Neill, as he stands defiantly against the oppressive rule of Queen Elizabeth I. Dressed in medieval attire that reflects the customs and traditions of Ireland during the Middle Ages, O'Neill embodies both strength and rebellion. The interaction between O'Neill and the friar symbolizes not only their shared desire for freedom but also highlights how religion played a significant role in shaping political movements during this tumultuous period. The friar's encouragement serves as a rallying cry for all those who yearn to break free from oppression. Through this evocative photograph, Ken Welsh transports us back to a time when Ireland fought fiercely for its independence. It reminds us of the resilience and determination that defined this era while showcasing the intricate details of costume and custom prevalent during medieval times. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, let it serve as a reminder that even amidst adversity, there will always be individuals who dare to challenge authority and fight for what they believe is right – just like Shane O'Neill did so bravely centuries ago.
