A Chaotic Night on Low Ground Bridge, Dublin, 1822: A Handcoloured Engraving from Pierce Egan's 'Real Life in Ireland' This intriguing handcoloured engraving captures the chaos and excitement of an unexpected accident on Dublin's Low Ground Bridge, Baggot Street, in 1822. The scene is filled with the sounds of jingling harnesses and shouting men as a carriage, pulled by a team of horses, veers off the bridge and plunges into the nearby canal below. Brian Boru, Sir Shawn O'Dogherty, Capt. Grammachree, and Poll Kettlewell, all elegantly dressed gentlemen of the Regency era, are seen in a state of disarray. Brian Boru, with a peg leg and a greatcoat, clings to the side of the bridge, while Sir Shawn O'Dogherty, wearing a bicorne hat and holding a shillelagh, shouts in alarm. Capt. Grammachree, in a fur-trimmed coat, attempts to help the passengers, some of whom have already fallen into the water. The commotion has attracted the attention of the local watchmen, who brandish their lanterns and join in the fray. The riotous scene is further complicated by the arrival of Charley's Dame, a popular character from Dublin's streets, who adds to the confusion with her loud cries and waving arms. This illustration, taken from Pierce Egan's 'Real Life in Ireland, or the Day and Night Scenes, Rovings, Rambles, and Sprees, Bulls, Blunders, Bodderation and Blarney,' published by William Evans in London in 1829, offers a humorous and satirical glimpse into the lively and unpredictable world of 19th-century Dublin. The use of caricature and comedy heightens the sense of fun and excitement, making this a fascinating and entertaining piece of Regency-era history.
