EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a reduced fac-simile of a "No Rent" placard that was posted on the Chapel Gate at Kilfinane. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, is now part of a private collection. The image transports us back to a significant moment in Irish history - the Irish Land War. In this turbulent period, Ireland was struggling under British rule while England thrived. The placard boldly declares "Pay No Rent" symbolizing the resistance and defiance of the oppressed Irish people against their landlords. The scene depicted in this engraving is reminiscent of a siege as it shows the Chapel Gate covered with these powerful messages. It serves as a visual representation of unity among the townspeople who stood together to fight for their rights and demand fair treatment. Notable figures such as Emmet Tone and U Townsend are associated with this historic event, further emphasizing its significance. This image provides insight into both the political climate and social unrest during that time. As we observe this reduced facsimile, we are reminded of how art can capture pivotal moments in history and evoke emotions even centuries later. It serves as a reminder of Ireland's struggle for independence and highlights the power of collective action when faced with injustice.
