EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Outrage by Moonlighters in Ireland" transports us back to a tumultuous period in Irish history. The engraving, created by Frank Watkins in the late 19th century, vividly depicts a scene of chaos and violence during the Irish Land War. In this haunting image, we are confronted with a grave situation unfolding under the cover of darkness. A group of moonlighters, their identities concealed by shadows and disguises, gather outside a residence on Castle Farm in Kerry. Their intentions are clear as they aim their weapons towards the kitchen door. The atmosphere is tense and foreboding as these masked individuals prepare to commit an act of outrage against Mr. John O'Connell Curtin, whose name echoes through history as both victim and witness to this tragic event. The engraving captures not only the fear etched on his face but also the desperation that must have gripped him at that moment. This powerful visual narrative serves as a reminder of the turbulent times endured by ordinary people caught up in political unrest and land disputes. It speaks volumes about the struggles faced by those living through such troubled periods. Through this remarkable artwork, we gain insight into an important chapter in Irish history while also appreciating Frank Watkins' skillful ability to capture emotion within his engravings.
