EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant historical document from 17th century Ireland. Titled "The humble Petition of us the Parliaments poore Souldiers in the Army of Ireland" this engraving and letterpress publication sheds light on the dire conditions faced by soldiers during that time. Created by Irish School, this pamphlet was published in 1648 and is now housed at the British Museum in London. The image depicts a soldier, representing countless others, who suffered greatly under Oliver Cromwell's command. The soldier appears emaciated and ill, with tattered clothing and no shoes to protect his weary feet. This powerful illustration serves as a stark reminder of the neglect these brave men endured while serving their country. The pamphlet emphasizes how many soldiers were already starved or deceased due to lack of medical care provided by chirurgions (surgeons). It highlights their struggle for survival amidst unpaid wages, inadequate equipment, and overall poor nourishment. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the hardships faced by these parliamentarian troops. Their story serves as a testament to resilience despite overwhelming adversity. Thanks to Fine Art Finder and www. bridgemanart. com for preserving this important piece of history for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
