EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the brave Apprentice Boys of Derry shutting the gates of their Protestant Irish city against a Catholic Jacobite army during the 17th century. The image, engraved in exquisite detail, transports us back to this pivotal event that unfolded in 1688-89. In this monochrome illustration, we see a group of young men and boys standing united on top of the fortified wall surrounding Derry. Clad in traditional clothing from the era, they exude an air of determination and courage as they close off access to their beloved city. Their actions symbolize not only their unwavering loyalty to their Protestant faith but also their deep-rooted patriotism. The sepia-toned image evokes a sense of nostalgia for Victorian-style illustrations while highlighting the intensity and emotion present during times of conflict. It serves as a reminder of British culture's rich history and showcases how teamwork can lead to triumph even against great odds. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we cannot help but feel inspired by these adolescent heroes who stood up for what they believed in. This engraving is not just an artistic representation; it is a testament to resilience and fortitude that continues to resonate with viewers today.
