EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from the late 19th century captures a tumultuous scene of the infamous "Anti-Methodist Riots" that took place in Cork, Ireland in 1750. The print depicts Protestants rioting through the streets during John Wesley's second visit to the town, accompanied by Christopher Hopper. The image portrays a chaotic and frenzied atmosphere as a mob of angry men fills the frame. The middle-aged Irish street is transformed into a battleground, with individuals engaged in violent clashes and acts of defiance against Wesley and his Methodist followers. The artist skillfully conveys the intensity and disorder of this historical event through intricate details etched onto wood. Each stroke brings forth an air of tension and unrest, capturing both physical aggression and emotional turmoil within this snapshot frozen in time. This powerful visual narrative serves as a reminder of religious conflicts that plagued Ireland during this period. It sheds light on societal divisions between different faiths, highlighting how passionate beliefs can ignite violence even among fellow countrymen.
