EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to a tumultuous event in history - the Riot at Six-Mile Bridge, Clare, Ireland. The scene captured here depicts the fatal clash between the peasantry and the military that occurred on July 22nd during a county election. As voters gathered at this polling place on the borders of Limerick, chaos erupted, leading to an uproar that shook this peaceful village. The engraving, created in 1852 using illustrative techniques of that era, transports us to a bygone time. Its retro-styled vintage charm adds depth and character to this historical snapshot. The intricate details of every person involved in this commotion are etched onto paper with precision and skill. Following these tragic events, an investigation was launched before a coroner and jury consisting of seventeen individuals. Their quest for justice lasted weeks until finally reaching its conclusion last week. This image serves as a reminder of their efforts to uncover truth amidst turmoil. As we gaze upon this engraving today, it reminds us not only of past political unrest but also highlights how far we have come in our democratic processes. It is through such moments captured in history that we can reflect upon our progress as a society while appreciating the artistry behind preserving these significant moments for generations to come.
