This coloured engraving by James Gillray, titled "United Irishmen in training, 1798" offers a glimpse into the tumultuous times of the late 18th century. Depicting members of the Society of United Irishmen, a republican nationalist group fighting for Irish independence, this print showcases their dedication to honing their military skills. Gillray's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork.
