EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "IRELAND: FIELD WORK, 1870" takes us back in time to witness the resilience and strength of women working in the fields of Roscommon. The wood engraving, created by an English artist in 1870, beautifully captures a moment frozen in history. In this rural setting, we see a group of Irish peasant women diligently engaged in their daily farming tasks. Despite the late hour depicted by the soft lighting, these hardworking individuals are unwavering as they toil away with spades in hand. Their faces tell stories of determination and perseverance amidst challenging circumstances. The scene evokes a sense of both poverty and pride that characterized Ireland during this era. These women embody the spirit of resilience as they navigate their way through life's hardships while tending to their land. Their attire reflects their humble status; wearing kerchiefs around their heads for protection from sun or wind, they epitomize the traditional Irish working class woman. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the integral role played by women not only on farms but also within society at large. Through this wood engraving, we are transported back to an important chapter in Irish history where labor was arduous yet essential for survival. It is a testament to the indomitable spirit that has shaped Ireland into what it is today - resilient, proud, and deeply rooted in its agricultural heritage.
