EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "With General Buller in Kerry, Constabulary lying in Ambush to surprise Moonlighters" transports us back to a significant moment during the Irish Land War. Created by Amedee Forestier and published in The Illustrated London News on December 11,1886, this artwork offers a glimpse into a tense military operation. The scene depicts General Buller leading his troops through the picturesque landscape of Kerry, Ireland. With utmost secrecy and precision, members of the constabulary lie concealed in an ambush position, awaiting their opportunity to surprise the notorious Moonlighters – a clandestine group involved in agrarian violence. Forestier's intricate detailing brings life to this historical event. From the determined expressions on the faces of both soldiers and moonlighters to the lush greenery enveloping them all, every element contributes to an atmosphere charged with anticipation. This engraving serves as a testament not only to Forestier's artistic skill but also to its significance as part of Ireland's troubled history. It captures a pivotal moment when law enforcement sought justice amidst social unrest and land disputes. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are reminded of how art can preserve moments that shape our world. It prompts us to reflect on past struggles while appreciating the resilience shown by those who fought for peace and justice during turbulent times.
