EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Signal fires in the Slievenamon Mountains - Ireland 1848" offers a glimpse into a tumultuous period of Irish history. The scene takes us back to Tipperary during the unrest of 1848, when rebellion and uprising were brewing against British rule. In this vivid depiction, we see three armed men standing watch atop the rugged Slievenamon Mountains. Their vigilant presence suggests an air of tension and anticipation as they keep guard over their comrades below. Gathered around a crackling fire, other figures huddle together, seeking warmth and solace amidst the uncertainty that surrounds them. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched on this lithograph speaks volumes about the hardships faced by these individuals during this time of rebellion. Published by N Currier in New York in 1848, this print serves as both a historical document and a testament to human resilience. As we gaze upon this image from the nineteenth century, it reminds us of the struggles endured by those who fought for independence and freedom. It transports us to an era where signals were sent through fires atop mountains—a powerful symbol of unity and resistance against oppression. This photograph print from Universal Images Group (UIG) captures not only a moment frozen in time but also echoes the indomitable spirit that has shaped Ireland's history for centuries.
