EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the reading of General Rosen's threat in Londonderry. Taken from Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation, c. 1923, this illustration by Frank Gillett transports us back to the Glorious Revolution. The image depicts a group of determined individuals, most likely Protestants, who find themselves besieged and under threat. Their faces reflect both fear and defiance as they gather around to read an ominous message delivered by General Conrad de Rosen. The atmosphere is tense, with every word carrying weight and uncertainty hanging heavy in the air. The artist skillfully conveys the gravity of the situation through intricate engravings that capture each individual's emotions vividly. The Irish landscape serves as a backdrop for this historic event, reminding us of Ireland's turbulent past. As we delve into this historical narrative captured within a single frame, we are reminded of the power that images hold in preserving our collective memory. This particular photograph not only documents an important moment but also invites us to reflect on themes such as courage, resilience, and unity amidst adversity. Preserved within private collections today, this litho engraving continues to serve as a powerful reminder of Ireland's complex history - one marked by protests, sieges, warnings, and threats - while also highlighting humanity's unwavering spirit even in times of great turmoil.
