EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia print captures the essence of a historic moment in Belfast's history - the Great Unionist demonstration of 1890. The image, an engraving from Cassells Illustrated History of England, showcases the immense crowd gathered at Ulster Hall on November 21st. The atmosphere is electric as flags wave proudly in support of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. A sea of faces fills every corner, representing both unionists and Irish citizens alike. Amongst them, hecklers make their presence known, adding a touch of tension to this politically charged gathering. On stage stands an impassioned orator, his voice carrying over the multitude as he delivers a powerful speech that resonates with the audience. His words are met with applause and cheers from those who share his beliefs. This illustration immortalizes not only a significant event but also reflects the deep-rooted divisions within society during this period. It serves as a reminder of the complex political landscape that shaped Northern Ireland's history. Preserved in sepia tones, this piece evokes nostalgia for times long gone by while offering us insight into an era marked by fervent patriotism and passionate debates about national identity. As we gaze upon it today, we can't help but be transported back to that momentous day in 1890 when voices were raised and ideologies clashed amidst a backdrop of unity and discordance alike.
