EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant scene from 19th century Ireland, where men, women, and children are seen gathering seaweed for food along the coast of Clare. The image showcases the harsh reality faced by the Irish population during this time, as they were forced to turn to alternative sources of sustenance due to the failure of staple crops like potatoes.
In an effort to combat famine and hunger, families can be seen picking, drying, and selling d hlisk while also collecting corrigan from the sea. These practices were essential for survival in a time when imported foods were scarce and unreliable.
The historical significance of this photograph is undeniable, offering a glimpse into the resilience and resourcefulness of the Irish people in the face of adversity. It serves as a reminder of their strength and determination to overcome challenges through innovation and hard work.
As we reflect on this powerful image captured on May 12th, 1883, let us honor those who came before us and recognize their unwavering spirit in times of hardship. This snapshot from history is a testament to human perseverance in the face of struggle.
