EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The procession passing the Bank, 1844" takes us back to a momentous event in Dublin, Ireland. The image captures the exuberant celebrations that unfolded after the release from prison of nationalist politician Daniel O Connell. Described as a "monster one" this procession was unlike anything ever witnessed before in Dublin. As we gaze at this historic scene, it becomes evident that this gathering was extraordinary on multiple fronts. Firstly, the sheer numbers of people involved were staggering; the streets were flooded with an immense crowd eager to partake in or witness this grand spectacle. Secondly, what sets this procession apart is not only its size but also the respectability and wealth of those who participated or expressed their delight in observing it. The engraving featured here originally appeared in the renowned "Illustrated London News" publication of 1844. It serves as a testament to how significant and impactful O Connell's release was for both Irish citizens and British society at large during that time. This remarkable photograph allows us to glimpse into 19th-century Ireland, capturing a pivotal moment when national pride and unity took center stage amidst jubilant celebrations. As we admire this piece by an unknown creator, we are reminded of O Connell's influential role as both "the emancipator" and "the liberator" forever etching his name into history books as an emblematic figure fighting for Irish independence.
