EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An Irish Wake" takes us back in time to a scene filled with intrigue and mystery. Created by the talented engraver Browne, Hablot Knight (Phiz), this artwork captures the essence of an infamous event from history. The image is part of "The Chronicles of Crime or The New Newgate Calendar" a publication by Camden Pelham that delves into notorious crimes. In this engraving, we witness an Irish wake unfolding before our eyes. The atmosphere is heavy with emotion as people gather around a coffin, paying their respects to the departed soul. It's evident that alcohol plays a significant role in this gathering, as drinks are consumed freely amidst conversations and storytelling. The artist skillfully portrays the tombstones and crypts surrounding the mourners, emphasizing the connection between life and death. Each gravestone serves as a reminder of mortality while adding depth to the composition. Through this evocative image, we are transported to another era where crime and drink intertwine within Irish culture. It offers us a glimpse into the customs and traditions associated with wakes during that time period. Bridgeman Images has once again curated an exceptional piece for art enthusiasts worldwide, allowing us to explore historical events through visual storytelling. This print not only captivates but also prompts reflection on themes such as crime, death, and community rituals that have shaped societies throughout history.
