Armed Bricks Equal Equality Rights Riot Rioting Unrest Uprising Revolt
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The State of Ireland: The Affray at Belmullet, County Mayo" transports us back to a tumultuous period in Irish history. Taken from The Illustrated London News on November 12th, 1881, this engraving by Aloysius O Kelly depicts a scene of intense conflict and chaos. In the image, we witness an explosive confrontation between the people of Grawkill and the police. This affray is part of the larger Irish Land Wars that plagued the country during this time. Stones and bricks are hurled through the air as both sides engage in a fierce battle for their rights and equality. The atmosphere depicted here is one of revolt and uprising against oppressive forces. It serves as a powerful reminder of the lengths people will go to fight for what they believe in. Armed with determination, these individuals refuse to be silenced or oppressed any longer. O Kelly's skillful engraving captures not only the physicality of this riot but also conveys the deep-rooted emotions fueling it. The intensity portrayed within each stroke speaks volumes about the unrest that permeated Ireland during this era. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, let us remember those who fought bravely for justice and revolutionized their nation's future. May their struggles never be forgotten, serving as a constant reminder that change can arise even from moments filled with chaos and turmoil.
