EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph captures the picturesque Queenstown/Cobh harbor, a significant port for Cork City in Ireland during the 19th century. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this Victorian-era print transport us back to a time when over 2.5 million Irish emigrants embarked on their journeys from this very spot. Queenstown/Cobh holds immense historical importance as it was not only the last port of call for the ill-fated SS Titanic but also witnessed a name change after an esteemed visit by Queen Victoria in 1849. This lithograph beautifully showcases the landscape and panorama of this bustling harbor, highlighting its role as a hub for transportation and waterborne activities. The print serves as a poignant reminder of Ireland's diaspora during that era, with countless ships departing from Cobh carrying hopeful individuals seeking new opportunities abroad. The image evokes both admiration for the stunning natural surroundings and contemplation about the stories behind each ship that sailed away into unknown horizons. Created by an unknown artist, this print is an invaluable piece of history preserved through artistry. It allows us to appreciate County Cork's rich maritime heritage while reflecting on Ireland's past struggles and triumphs. As we gaze upon this remarkable chromolithograph, we are transported back to a time when Queenstown/Cobh played a pivotal role in shaping Irish history and leaving an indelible mark on generations to come.
