EDITORS COMMENTS
The Condition of Ireland (engraving) captures the tumultuous period in Irish history during the late 19th century. This powerful image, created by an anonymous English School artist, depicts the aftermath of a series of assassinations that occurred on March 30,1882. The engraving portrays a scene outside a residence in County Kerry, where Mr. A. E. Herbert was brutally assassinated during the Irish Land War. The violence and unrest surrounding this event are evident as figures gather around to witness the tragic consequences of political strife. Amidst this chaos, there is a glimmer of hope for peace as Mrs. Henry Smythe stands beside Mr. Herbert's grieving widow, offering her condolences and support. Their presence symbolizes unity and resilience amidst adversity. The print also highlights Killentierna in Westmeath, where justice must prevail following these heinous acts. As we delve into this historical moment through the lens of artistry, it becomes clear that Ireland's condition at that time was one marred by conflict and social injustice. Bridgeman Images' preservation of this significant artwork allows us to reflect upon Ireland's troubled past while acknowledging its journey towards peace and prosperity.
