18th Century Burning Candle Clergyman Folklore Irish Jacobite Jacobite Risings Protestant Sword 1722 Charles Edward Stuart Conspirator Jacobite Rising

EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Kelly burning the treasonable papers, 1722" transports us back to a significant moment in history. The image captures George Kelly, an Irish nonjuring Protestant clergyman and one of The Seven Men of Moidart, engaged in a clandestine act that would forever be etched into Jacobite folklore. In this scene from Cassells Illustrated History of England, published around 1890, we witness Kelly fearlessly setting fire to the incriminating documents. These papers were deemed treasonable and held critical information relating to the Jacobite conspiracy led by Charles Edward Stuart. As we delve into this historical snapshot, our eyes are drawn to the intensity on Kelly's face as he wields his sword with determination while holding a candle close to ignite the flames. This engraving serves as an archival testament to his unwavering loyalty towards his cause. The vintage aesthetic adds depth and authenticity to this illustration from the 18th century. It allows us a glimpse into a period filled with political turmoil and intrigue. Through this picture, we can almost hear whispers of secret meetings and feel the weight of responsibility carried by these conspirators. Ken Welsh's masterful capture not only preserves an important moment but also invites us to reflect upon the sacrifices made by those who fought for their beliefs during turbulent times in history.
