The Seizure of Lord Edward Fitzgerald, 1798 - A Glimpse into the Irish Rebellion
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the seizure of Lord Edward Fitzgerald during the Irish Rebellion of 1798. Lord Fitzgerald, an Irish aristocrat and revolutionary, valiantly resisted arrest for treason before succumbing to his wounds. The engraving, created by English School in the 19th century, is part of a private collection and was featured in "The History of England" by Oliver Goldsmith. It vividly portrays the intense struggle between British soldiers and members of the United Irishmen movement. In this scene, we witness Lord Fitzgerald's unwavering determination as he defiantly confronts his captors while clutching a pistol. The chaos unfolds amidst a backdrop of fighting soldiers and gun smoke-filled air. This image not only showcases the bravery and resilience displayed during this tumultuous period but also provides insight into medical practices at that time. The wounded limb of Lord Fitzgerald serves as a reminder of both the physical toll taken on individuals involved in conflicts like these and advancements made within healthcare and medicine since then. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, let us reflect on Ireland's fight for independence and remember those who sacrificed their lives for freedom.
