EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, capturing a scene of chaos and unrest in Belfast. The image showcases the intensity of a riot that engulfed the streets, reflecting the turbulent political climate of that era. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a clash between armed soldiers on horseback and an angry mob. The mounted soldiers appear determined as they navigate through narrow lanes and avenues, their horses adding to the sense of urgency. Guns are fired amidst billowing smoke, highlighting the violence that permeated every corner. The buildings surrounding the tumultuous scene stand as silent witnesses to this display of aggression. They bear witness to a country torn apart by conflicting ideologies and deep-rooted divisions. The men involved in this conflict are captured mid-action, their faces etched with determination or fear. Amidst all this chaos, animals also play a role - horses galloping alongside their riders or standing steadfastly amidst the commotion. Their presence adds an element of raw power and untamed energy to an already volatile atmosphere. As we delve into this engraving from Cassells Illustrated History of England, Vol IX. , it serves as a reminder not only of past conflicts but also how far society has come since then. It prompts us to reflect on our own history while appreciating efforts made towards peace-building in Northern Ireland today.
