EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) takes us back to a significant moment in history - the daring rescue of Fenian Conspiracy leaders Kelly and Deasy. The scene unfolds under a railway bridge on Hyde Street, Manchester, on September 18th, 1867. In this wood engraving, we witness the intense drama that unfolded as the police van transporting these Irish leaders from court to prison is ambushed. As it passes under the railway bridge, a group of brave individuals launch their audacious plan to free Kelly and Deasy. Chaos erupts as shots are fired, resulting in the tragic death of a police sergeant. The image captures not only the tension and danger of this pivotal event but also highlights the deep-rooted historical conflict between England and Ireland during this time period. It serves as a reminder of how political ideologies can drive people to extreme measures in pursuit of their cause. Through its intricate details etched into wood by skilled hands, this engraving immortalizes an important chapter in British history.
