EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the 12th of July march in Belfast during the late 1800s. The Orange Order, a Protestant fraternal organization, is prominently displayed in Shaftesbury Square, a historic landmark in the heart of the city. Dressed in their traditional regalia, the Orangemen proudly march through the bustling streets, carrying banners and drums, as onlookers watch from the sidelines. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the rich cultural traditions of Northern Ireland during this era. The architecture of the buildings surrounding Shaftesbury Square adds to the scene's historic charm, with their intricate designs and grand structures standing tall against the urban backdrop. The Twelfth of July demonstration, also known as the Orange Parades, is a significant event in Northern Irish history, with its origins dating back to the late 1600s. The parades commemorate the victory of Protestant King William of Orange over Catholic King James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. This photograph, taken in the late 1880s or early 1890s, serves as a reminder of the deep-rooted traditions and history that continue to shape the identity of Belfast and Northern Ireland today. The image invites us to reflect on the past, while also highlighting the enduring significance of this annual event in the cultural fabric of the city and country.
