Justice to Ireland. blank Repeal Association
Justice to Ireland. blank Repeal Association. A printed facsimile of a banner for one of the Irish Repeal Associations in the United States, organizations which sprang up in many American cities in support of repeal of the oppressive Irish Legislative Union. Here a blank space is left for inscribing or overprinting the first part of the association name, suggesting that the banner was intended for use by any of several local groups. Suspended on two arrows, the banner hangs on a staff with an eagle finial. On the banner a wreath of shamrocks enframes two female figures, representing Ireland (left) and America. Both figures are in classical costume. Ireland supports with one hand a large harp behind which a wolfhound is visible, and gestures with the other hand toward the tasseled liberty cap on a staff held by the America figure. America also holds a shield emblazoned with stars and stripes. Behind the figures is a rocky landscape where the sun is emerging from dark clouds. Above the scene is a bald eagle holding an American flag and a streamer with the words Justice to Ireland. The whole banner is set against a background of dark clouds. Below the title is the Irish repeal movement leader Daniel O Connells admonition, He Who Commits a Crime Strengthens the Enemy of His Country.. Date c1842.

EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Justice to Ireland: A Symbol of Solidarity - A Repeal Association Banner from 1842" This print depicts a banner for the "Justice to Ireland. blank Repeal Association," an organization that emerged in the United States during the 1840s to support the Irish cause for repealing the oppressive Irish Legislative Union. The banner, which features a blank space for the association's name, suggests that it was intended for use by various local groups. The banner is suspended on two arrows and adorned with an eagle finial. The central image showcases two female figures, symbolizing Ireland (on the left) and America, both dressed in classical attire. Ireland, holding a harp and gesturing towards the liberty cap held by America, represents the Irish people's longing for freedom and justice. America, with a shield emblazoned with stars and stripes, symbolizes the United States' commitment to supporting the Irish cause. Behind the figures lies a rocky landscape, with the sun emerging from dark clouds, symbolizing the hope for a brighter future for Ireland. Above the scene, a bald eagle holds an American flag and a streamer bearing the words "Justice to Ireland." The background is set against a backdrop of dark clouds, emphasizing the struggle for Irish rights. The banner carries a powerful message from Irish repeal movement leader Daniel O'Connell: "He Who Commits a Crime Strengthens the Enemy of His Country." This banner serves as a poignant reminder of the solidarity and determination of the Irish diaspora in the United States during a pivotal moment in Irish history. Date: c1842.
