Daniel O'Connell, a prominent figure in Irish history, is depicted in various forms throughout these captivating images. In the first engraving by H. Robinson, we see a detailed portrait of Daniel O'Connell himself, capturing his strong presence and determination. Moving on to another significant moment, Sir Robert Peel's conversion to free trade principles during the debate on the Corn Laws is captured in a photogravure from 1846. This historic event showcased O'Connell's influence and persuasive abilities within the House of Commons. The St. Patrick's Day Parade on Fifth Avenue in New York City in 1909 showcases the widespread celebration of Irish culture and heritage that O'Connell fought so passionately for. The black-and-white photo transports us back to this vibrant display of pride and unity. An engraving depicting parliamentary elections and electioneering in the old days highlights O'Connell's involvement in politics and his commitment to democratic processes. His dedication to fair representation shines through even amidst chaotic scenes. The funeral engraving portrays a somber moment as Mr. O'Connell is laid to rest with great reverence after his passing. It serves as a reminder of his lasting impact on Ireland and beyond. In another engraving, we witness Mr. O'Connell's remains being held at Notre Dame Church in Havre—a testament to his international recognition as an influential leader. Accompanied by his sons John and Daniel, we see Mr. O’Connell making his way towards Four Courts—an image that captures both familial support and political solidarity. A lithograph from 1831 presents Daniel O’Connell Esq. , showcasing him during an earlier period of his career when he was already gaining prominence for advocating for Catholic emancipation. Two monumental engravings depict tributes erected posthumously: The impressive marble statue at Royal Exchange Dublin stands tall as a symbol of respect while Glasnevin’s memorial monument honors not only him but also the enduring legacy he left behind.
