EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured lithograph, dating back to 1868, depicts the infamous Battle of Ridgeway that took place in Ontario, Canada West on 2 June 1866. The scene captures a pivotal moment in history when Canadian troops were routed by an irregular Irish-American army known as the Fenians. The purpose behind this invasion was to exert pressure on Britain and negotiate the formation of an independent Irish Republic. The lithograph showcases the chaotic aftermath of the battle, with Canadian soldiers scattered and defeated while their Fenian adversaries stand triumphant. It serves as a visual testament to the courage and determination displayed by both sides during this intense conflict. The vibrant colours used in this print bring life to the historical event, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in its dramatic narrative. Through careful brushstrokes and attention to detail, every aspect of this significant encounter is captured with precision. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are reminded of how history unfolds through moments like these – where nations clash, ideologies collide, and individuals fight for their beliefs. This lithograph stands as a powerful reminder of our shared past and invites us to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who came before us in pursuit of freedom and independence.
