EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic "Grand Review, Phoenix Park, Dublin" in 1844. The image showcases a moment during the military review of the troops composing the garrison of Dublin in the vast Fifteen Acres of Phoenix Park. In this scene, infantry soldiers have formed an "echelon of squares" as a defensive measure against a hypothetical attack from enemy cavalry. The artillery can be seen actively engaging on both sides, reminiscent of similar defense tactics employed by the British army during the legendary Battle of Waterloo. The photograph offers a glimpse into 19th-century warfare and strategic maneuvers. It is evident that this event held great significance for Ireland's capital city, as people gather to witness this impressive display of military prowess. The unknown creator skillfully captured not only the soldiers but also their magnificent horses, emphasizing their role in combat. Published in "Illustrated London News". Volume I in 1844, this engraving provides valuable insight into historical events and serves as a testament to Victorian-era journalism. Preserved through time by The Print Collector, it allows us to appreciate and reflect upon an important chapter in Irish history.
