Scene at the Kilkenny Election, 1865. Creator: Unknown
Scene at the Kilkenny Election, 1865. Engraving from a sketch by Mr. Edmund Fitzpatrick. The Irish elections...are usually made the occasion, in almost every town, of a vehement exhibition of the popular spirit, breaking out sometimes in the form of serious tumults. The scene at the nomination of candidates for the county of Kilkenny, which took place at the Courthouse...was a very characteristic example of the disorderly behaviour of the multitude on these occasions...It was necessary to have a troop of the 12th Lancers and a company of the 53rd Regiment...drawn up in the streets during the whole morning, to be ready if called upon to assist the police. The High Sheriff, Sir Henry Marsh, with the several candidates and their friends, contrived, however, to get into the Courthouse at ten o'clock, but the mob indoors was as noisy as the mob outside...the Rev. Patrick Byrne...proposed Mr. George Leopold Bryan, as a Catholic, of Jenkinstown, a friend of the Pope, an advocate of tenant right, "the descendant of the Bryans, the descendant of the Talbots, the descendant of everything that is good, honest, and princely in this country."...the show of hands was taken, being in favour of Mr. Greene and Mr. Bryan'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865

A Scene at the Kilkenny Election, 1865
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of chaos and excitement during the election process in Kilkenny, Ireland. The year was marked by intense political fervor as candidates vied for support among the populace. In this particular scene, crowds have gathered outside the courthouse where nominations were taking place.
The atmosphere is electric with energy as people shout out their preferences and wave flags to show allegiance to their chosen candidate. A troop of 12th Lancers and a company of 53rd Regiment stand at attention in the streets, ready to intervene if necessary. Meanwhile, inside the courthouse, supporters are just as vocal in their backing for Mr. Greene or Mr. Bryan.
The print is rendered with remarkable detail by an unknown artist, capturing every nuance of facial expression and body language among those involved. The Rev. Patrick Byrne's impassioned speech on behalf of candidate George Leopold Bryan adds to the drama unfolding before our eyes.
This historic image provides a fascinating glimpse into the tumultuous world of 19th-century Irish politics, where passions ran high and allegiances were fiercely defended. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of human expression in times of great change and upheaval.
