EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in Irish history as members of the Royal Irish Constabulary embark on a forcible eviction voyage along the west coast of Ireland in the late 19th century. The image, taken in February 1887, depicts the authorities going to the islands using open sailing boats called 'hookers.' These boats were a common means of transportation in the region, but their use in this context was anything but ordinary. The backdrop to this scene was the land and rent wars, a tumultuous period marked by conflict between tenants and landlords over unfair rents and living conditions. The evictions, carried out with force, were a stark reminder of the power dynamics at play during this time. The photograph, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the past. The men in uniform, their determined expressions etched on their faces, stand out against the vast expanse of the sea and sky. The boats, small and fragile against the raw power of the elements, underscore the precarious nature of the mission. As the Constabulary set sail, they would have faced strong winds and rough seas, adding to the challenges of the already difficult task at hand. The image, though haunting, is an essential piece of historical documentation, shedding light on a significant chapter in Ireland's past. The photograph, taken in 1887, is a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by the people of Ireland during this period and the role the Royal Irish Constabulary played in enforcing evictions. It stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of those who lived through the land and rent wars and the enduring power of historical records to bring the past to life.
