EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the streets of Galway in 1893, offering a glimpse into the historical significance of this particular location. The image showcases the house of Thomas Lynch, who held the esteemed position of Mayor of Galway during a tumultuous period in Irish history. However, his tenure was abruptly cut short when he was expelled from both his post and residence in 1654 by Peter Stubbers, an English military governor. Lynch's expulsion was rooted in religious discrimination as he was targeted for being Catholic and for daring to protest against the mistreatment inflicted upon the townspeople by their English rulers. This powerful illustration is extracted from A Short History of the English People, authored by John Richard Green and published with stunning engravings like this one. The print transports us to a time where buildings stood tall along narrow lanes and avenues that formed Galway's charming streetscape. It serves as a poignant reminder not only of Lynch's personal struggle but also reflects broader themes such as religious conflict, political oppression, and cultural resilience within Ireland during both the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. As we observe this monochrome scene captured by William Henry Bartlett, it becomes evident that even though physical structures may change over time, their stories continue to resonate across generations. This remarkable piece offers an opportunity to reflect on our shared history while honoring those who fought against injustice amidst adversity.
