EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, as Fenian Conspiracy leaders Kelly and Deasy are rescued from a police van under dramatic circumstances. The scene unfolds on Hyde Street in Manchester, as the van carrying the prisoners passes under a railway bridge on its way from court to prison on September 18, 1867.
In an act of daring bravery, the Fenians' supporters managed to intercept the police van and free their leaders, resulting in chaos and violence. Tragically, a police sergeant lost his life during the rescue attempt.
The wood engraving beautifully depicts the tension and urgency of the situation, with intricate details bringing this historical event to life. The image serves as a reminder of the fierce determination and unwavering loyalty that characterized the Fenian movement during this turbulent period in British history.
As we gaze upon this powerful photograph, we are transported back to a time when political unrest and rebellion were at their peak. It is a testament to the resilience and courage of those who fought for their beliefs against all odds.
