EDITORS COMMENTS
The Irish Tempest of 1870: A Political Storm Unleashed This political cartoon, titled "The Irish Tempest 1870: Caliban (Rory of the Hills) - 'This Islands mine, by Sycorax my Mother, which thou tak'st from me,'" provides a vivid representation of the tumultuous political climate in Ireland during that year. The image, published in 1870, depicts a fiery scene with the infamous character Caliban from Shakespeare's "The Tempest" standing atop a hill, symbolizing Ireland, and holding a shamrock in one hand and a bill in the other. The caption alludes to Caliban's famous line, "This is mine, by Sycorax my mother," expressing his desire to reclaim what was rightfully his. The figure of Caliban represents the Irish people, who were feeling the brunt of British rule and longed for self-governance and liberty. The "Islands" refer to Ireland, which was perceived as being taken from the Irish people by the British, symbolized by the hand of Gladstone, the British Prime Minister at the time, reaching out to grab the land. The Ultramontane section, a conservative Catholic political movement, is shown as Sycorax, the witch from "The Tempest," stirring up the tempest, further fueling the unrest. The cartoon reflects the political tensions in Ireland during this period, which were fueled by issues such as Fenianism, land ownership, and religious freedoms. The Irish people were seeking protection from their own government and the British rule, and this cartoon encapsulates the frustration and determination of the Irish people during this tumultuous time in their history.
