EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Pursuit of the Fenians in Tipperary" takes us back to a significant moment in Irish history during the 19th century. The print, created by an English School artist, showcases a dramatic scene unfolding under the cover of night. The image depicts the infamous pursuit of the Fenians, members of an Irish republican organization seeking independence from British rule. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we can almost feel the tension and urgency that permeates through every stroke of the engraver's tool. Intriguingly, our eyes are drawn to Dundrum House on a desolate road where this pursuit is taking place. The military forces relentlessly chase after the fleeing Fenians who are determined to evade capture at all costs. This visual narrative encapsulates both sides' unwavering determination and commitment to their respective causes. The darkened sky serves as a backdrop for this thrilling chase scene, symbolizing not only secrecy but also uncertainty about what lies ahead for these individuals involved in such high-stakes endeavors. As we delve deeper into this artwork's details, it becomes evident that it was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on March 30th, 1867. Its inclusion within private collections has allowed us access to witness firsthand one pivotal moment in Ireland's struggle for independence. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we have been granted a window into history—a chance to reflect upon past events that continue to shape
