EDITORS COMMENTS
The Front Cover of The Illustrated London News, 10th December 1921: Witnessing the End of the Anglo-Irish War The Illustrated London News front cover from December 10, 1921, captures a pivotal moment in Irish and British history. The image showcases the signatures of key political figures on the treaty that concluded the Irish War of Independence. The treaty, which brought an end to the violent conflict between the United Kingdom and the Irish Republic, was a significant turning point in the history of both nations. The treaty established the Irish Free State, granting Ireland limited self-governance while maintaining British control over six counties in the north, now known as Northern Ireland. The photograph on the cover features signatures of prominent figures from both sides, including Winston S. Churchill, then the British Home Secretary, and Northern Ireland's Lord Lloyd George and Austen Chamberlain. On the Irish side, the treaty was signed by Michael Collins, the commander-in-chief of the Irish Republican Army (IRA), and Arthur Griffith, the president of the Irish Republic. This cover marks the end of a long and tumultuous period in Anglo-Irish relations, which began with the Easter Rising in 1916 and continued through the War of Independence. The signing of the treaty brought hope for peace and a new beginning for both nations, although it also set the stage for further conflict and the eventual partition of Ireland. The Illustrated London News, a leading weekly newspaper at the time, captured this historic moment, providing its readers with a visual record of the significant events shaping the world around them.
