EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1860, capturing the grandeur of Walkers Pillar in Londonderry, Northern Ireland. Standing tall at eighty feet high, this magnificent doric column was erected as a lasting tribute to Reverend George Walker, who played a crucial role as Joint-Governor of Derry during the Great Siege of 1689. The image showcases the remarkable architecture and landscape surrounding this historic monument. The city walls that enclose Londonderry can be seen in the background, reminding us of its rich history as a walled town. The pillars supporting Walkers Pillar add an elegant touch to its design, symbolizing strength and resilience. However, it is important to note that this iconic structure met an unfortunate fate in later years. In the 1970s, during a period marked by conflict between different factions in Northern Ireland including the Irish Republican Army (IRA), Walkers Pillar was tragically blown up. Through this thought-provoking photograph captured by R Wallis and preserved by Heritage Images, we are reminded not only of architectural beauty but also how historical landmarks can become casualties of warfare. This monochrome depiction encapsulates both reverence for Reverend George Walker's legacy and serves as a poignant reminder of past struggles endured by communities in Northern Ireland.
