EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful engraving captures the raw emotion of the inhabitants of Limerick as they watch the Irish forces leave after making their final stand. The despair and anguish on their faces tell a story of loss, uncertainty, and fear for what lies ahead. As history tells us, those who followed James II into exile on the Continent became known as the Wild Geese - skilled mercenaries sought after throughout Europe for their bravery and expertise in battle. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men and women in defense of their homeland. The intricate details captured in this 19th-century illustration transport us back to a time when Ireland was embroiled in conflict, with its people facing an uncertain future. The sense of community and camaraderie among the inhabitants is palpable, highlighting the resilience and strength that has defined the Irish spirit throughout history. In this moment frozen in time, we are reminded of the price paid for freedom and independence - a price that continues to resonate with us today. The legacy of those who fought bravely for their beliefs lives on through images like this one, serving as a testament to the enduring spirit of Limerick's inhabitants.
