EDITORS COMMENTS
This political cartoon from the late Victorian era, dated February 28, 1885, depicts the Irish Fenian leader, Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa, who was once a feared figure for his use of explosives in furtherance of Irish home rule and nationalist causes. The cartoon, titled "The Terrible Monster Who Was Scared by a Woman!", captures a moment of vulnerability for the notorious figure. O'Donovan Rossa, born in 1831 in Ireland, had recently survived an assassination attempt by an Englishwoman, Lucille Yseult Dudley, outside his New York office. The cartoonist, Alfred Bryan, masterfully illustrates the incident with a comical yet poignant image of O'Donovan Rossa, who is shown as a monstrous figure with a bomb in one hand and a bag of explosive components, such as nitro-glycerine, in the other. However, the fear in his eyes and the quiver in his legs betray his true nature as a man, not a monster. The cartoon is a testament to the power of women in challenging the status quo and the fearsome reputation of the Fenian movement. The image of a woman, armed with a gun, standing her ground against the Fenian leader, sends a powerful message about the changing political landscape of the time. The cartoon also highlights the use of explosives as a political tool and the fear they instilled in the public. This intriguing piece of history is a reminder of the complexities of the political climate during the late 1800s and the role that cartoons and satire played in shaping public opinion. The image of O'Donovan Rossa, once a feared figure, reduced to fear and vulnerability by a woman, is a fascinating glimpse into the past.
