EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Belfast's history - the Commission of the Peace appointments in August 1922. In this image, we see esteemed members of the Belfast Board of Guardians, who were entrusted with maintaining peace and order in Northern Ireland during a time of great political unrest. Standing proudly are Thos Ferguson and Joseph Mitchell, both respected Justices of the Peace (J. P. ), while seated are C. J. Seckin, George Gray, John McCormick, and Alfred McBride - all J. P. s as well. These men exude authority and determination as they prepare to take on their crucial roles within the community. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this photograph, emphasizing its historical significance. It serves as a poignant reminder of an era when Ireland was grappling with its identity and striving for stability amidst social upheaval. Preserved by Central News' Europeana Photography collection, this image offers us a glimpse into the personalities that shaped Belfast's governance at that time. Their stern expressions hint at the weighty responsibilities they carried on their shoulders. As we reflect upon this photograph today, it is essential to acknowledge these individuals' contributions towards building a better future for Northern Ireland. Their dedication to serving their community through peaceful means remains an inspiration for generations to come.
