EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Irish history - the battle for possession of The Four Courts in Dublin, Ireland, in July 1922. Taken by an unknown photographer and featured in "The Silver Jubilee Book - The Story of 25 Eventful Years in Pictures" published by Odhams Press Ltd. London in 1935, this image transports us back to a time of intense conflict. In April 1922, members of the IRA who opposed the terms of the Anglo-Irish Treaty took control of The Four Courts. As tensions escalated and pressure mounted from the British government to resolve the situation, Michael Collins, leader of the Provisional Government of the Irish Free State, made a fateful decision. In June, he ordered artillery bombardment on The Four Courts as a means to regain control. The scene depicted here showcases a street engulfed in chaos and destruction. Barricades line the road while armed soldiers stand guard amidst crumbling buildings. A lone figure can be seen navigating through this war-torn landscape – perhaps representing resilience or defiance against oppressive forces. This photograph not only serves as a historical record but also evokes emotions tied to themes such as warfare, rebellion, and national identity. It reminds us that even amid turmoil and uncertainty, there are individuals who will fight passionately for their beliefs. As we gaze upon this powerful image frozen in time over eight decades ago, we are reminded that history is shaped by those willing to take action – whether it be through words or weapons – leaving an indelible mark on our collective memory.
