EDITORS COMMENTS
This cover of the Illustrated London News, published on the 12th of July in 1845, showcases two intriguing stories that captured the attention of the European audience at the time. The central image is an engraving of the conflict at Ballinhassig in Ireland, a violent clash between the British military and local Irish peasants protesting against the eviction of tenants from their lands. The turmoil in Ireland was a pressing concern for the British public, with tensions escalating due to the Great Famine that was ravaging the country. However, the cover also features an article on the Druses and Maronites, two religious communities in the Middle East, which highlights the global reach of the Illustrated London News. The Druses, an offshoot of Islam, and the Maronites, an Eastern Catholic denomination, were often subjected to persecution and conflict in the region. The article provides insight into their unique beliefs, customs, and way of life, offering a glimpse into the diverse world beyond Europe. The Illustrated London News was a pioneering weekly newspaper that brought visual journalism to the masses, making it an essential source of information and entertainment for the Victorian public. This cover encapsulates the essence of the newspaper, combining captivating visuals with in-depth reporting on the issues of the day, both local and international.
