EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "The garrison at Enniskillen defend the town from James II, 1689" by Adriaan Schoonebeek, transports us back to a pivotal moment in history. The image depicts the valiant defense of Enniskillen by its loyal garrison against King James II and his French troops during the late 17th century. Following King William III's Glorious Revolution in 1688, James II was exiled to France but sought to regain his crown with the support of Irish Catholics. However, not all garrisons in Ulster remained loyal to him. Enniskillen stood as a symbol of resistance and became the last stronghold before the siege of Derry. The etching captures the intensity and determination of those defending Enniskillen against overwhelming odds. It serves as a reminder of religious tensions during that era, highlighting themes such as intolerance, bigotry, and persecution between Protestant and Catholic factions. Ultimately, this historic event marked a turning point for Ireland. James II was defeated at the Battle of Boyne in 1690 by William III's forces. This print immortalizes an important chapter in Irish history while showcasing Schoonebeek's artistic talent. As we gaze upon this powerful artwork today, we are reminded not only of past conflicts but also how art can serve as a medium for propaganda or historical documentation. It is through images like these that we gain insight into our collective human experience and reflect
