EDITORS COMMENTS
The lithograph print titled "General Rosen's Threat is Read in Londonderry, c. 1910" by Frank Gillett captures a significant moment in Irish history. The image depicts the intense atmosphere during the siege of Derry in 1689, as General Rosen, commander of the Jacobite forces, issues a threatening letter to the local Irish peasants outside the city walls. During this time, Ireland was divided between Protestant Williamites and Catholic Jacobites following the Glorious Revolution of 1688. The Williamite forces were fiercely defending Derry when General Rosen's threat loomed over them. This lithograph serves as a visual representation of that pivotal moment. The illustration is taken from Hutchinson's History of the British People and showcases Gillett's artistic talent in capturing historical events with great detail and accuracy. The print portrays uniformed soldiers surrounding cannons while one soldier reads aloud General Rosen's menacing message. Ultimately, relief came for Derry in July 1689 when the Royal Navy arrived to break through the siege. However, this lithograph immortalizes an important chapter in Irish-British conflict and highlights both military strategy and communication methods used during warfare at that time. This artwork reminds viewers of Ireland's tumultuous past and its impact on British history. It stands as a testament to Frank Gillett's skillful portrayal of historical events through his artistry.
