EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Scenes of the Food Riots" takes us back to a tumultuous period in history. Created by an anonymous English School artist during the 19th century, this engraving offers a poignant glimpse into the civil unrest that plagued Ireland during that time. The image transports us to Youghal, where street scenes come alive with vivid details. The old Chapel Road and Mall House stand as witnesses to the chaos unfolding before them. The architecture of these structures adds depth and character to the scene, reminding us of their historical significance. In this snapshot of history, we witness scenes filled with tension and desperation. The food riots that engulfed Ireland are depicted through powerful imagery, capturing both the anger and despair felt by its people. Dungarvan is also mentioned in connection with these unsettling events. As we delve deeper into this print, it becomes evident that it was originally created for publication in The Illustrated London News on November 7th, 1846. This further emphasizes its historical importance as a visual record of significant events from that era. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece within their private collection, allowing us to reflect upon our past and gain insight into the struggles faced by our ancestors. It serves as a reminder of how art can capture not only beauty but also moments of social upheaval and unrest.
