The Bog Slide in Ireland - A Glimpse into History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Bog Slide in Ireland" takes us back to a significant moment in Irish history. Captured by the talented engraver Joseph Holland Tringham, this image showcases the aftermath of a devastating landslip that occurred on January 16,1897. Intriguingly detailed, the engraving reveals the sheer power and destruction caused by nature's fury. The viewer is transported to County Cork, where they witness the once serene landscape transformed into chaos. The river stands swollen and fierce after being washed over and carried away by tons of earth from the bog slide. Notably depicted are historic houses such as Kenmare House and Donnelly's House standing perilously close to the edge of disaster. It is here that victims narrowly escaped their fate as bodies poured down like an unstoppable torrent. The topography of this spot becomes evident as we see Flesk Bridge spanning over Black Bog while Lakes of Killarney shimmer peacefully in the distance. This tragic event prompted an extensive search for survivors amidst debris and mud-covered roads leading to Quarry Lodge. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, our hearts ache for those who lost their lives or homes during this catastrophe. It serves as a poignant reminder of both nature's unpredictable might and humanity's resilience in rebuilding shattered communities.
