EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Land Agitation in Ireland, Departure of the Boycott Expedition from Lough Mask" captures a significant moment during the Irish Land War in the 19th century. The image depicts a scene filled with tension and anticipation as a group of light horsemen prepare to depart from Lough Mask. In the foreground, we see constables enjoying a leisurely luncheon while others take advantage of this brief respite to catch some much-needed rest. As evening approaches, military personnel gather near the boat house, readying themselves for their mission. The departure is marked by an air of solemnity and determination. This illustration originally appeared in The Graphic on December 4th, 1880, providing viewers with a visual representation of Charles Boycott's infamous boycott expedition. Boycott was known for his harsh treatment of tenants during the land agitation period in Ireland. In response to his actions, local farmers organized protests and refused to work on his property – thus coining the term "boycott". The image also alludes to social tensions between different factions within Irish society at that time. A stately figure unbends himself from Captain Boycott's house while orange laborers bid farewell nearby in Ballinrobe. Overall, this historical print serves as a powerful reminder of Ireland's turbulent past and its struggle for land rights during this era.
