EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print, dating back to approximately 1869, pays tribute to the Manchester Martyrs of Ireland: Michael Larkin, William Allen, and William O'Brien. The trio's bust portraits are prominently displayed in the center, encircled by a shamrock on a shield. Above, an allegorical scene unfolds, symbolizing the enduring spirit and unwavering resolve of the Irish people in the face of adversity. The Irish wolfhound, a proud and noble emblem of Ireland, stands guard over the landscape below. Its fierce gaze and powerful presence serve as a reminder of the indomitable spirit of the Irish people and their deep connection to their homeland. Inscribed at the bottom of the print are eight poignant lines of verse, penned by the esteemed Irish poet, P.D. Farrell. These lines encapsulate the essence of the Irish struggle for freedom and the unbreakable bond between the people and their land. The Manchester Martyrs were hanged in Manchester, England, in 1867 for their involvement in the assassination of two British policemen during the Fenian uprising. Their execution sparked widespread outrage and further fueled the Irish nationalist movement. This print serves as a poignant reminder of their sacrifice and the enduring spirit of the Irish people.
