EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking engraving depicts a pivotal moment in Irish history: the moving of the Declaration of the Irish Rights in the Irish House of Commons on 19 April 1782. The subject of the image is Henry Grattan, a prominent Irish politician and Member of Parliament (MP), who is shown standing at the front of the House, passionately addressing his fellow MPs. The Declaration of the Irish Rights was a significant step towards Irish independence from English rule, as it granted the Irish Parliament the power to legislate on most domestic matters, effectively reducing British control. The Declaration was a major victory for Irish nationalism and marked the beginning of a new era in Irish politics. The engraving, created by the English engraver Francis Wheatley in 1886, was published in The Graphic, an illustrated weekly newspaper. The print provides a fascinating glimpse into the political climate of the time and the important role that individuals like Henry Grattan played in shaping the future of Ireland.
