EDITORS COMMENTS
Evicted (b/w photo) captures the haunting aftermath of a devastating eviction in 19th century Ireland. This powerful print, taken by an Irish photographer whose identity remains unknown, transports us back to a time of great hardship and struggle. The image showcases a humble thatched cottage standing desolate amidst the rugged Irish landscape. Its windows are shattered, its door hangs off its hinges, and remnants of personal belongings lie scattered on the ground. The scene is a poignant reminder of the harsh reality faced by countless families who were forcibly removed from their homes during this tumultuous period. This photograph was featured in 'Ireland in Pictures' published by Js Hyland & Co in 1888, serving as both documentation and condemnation of these evictions. The composition expertly conveys a sense of loss and despair through its stark contrasts and meticulous attention to detail. As we gaze upon this historical relic captured over a century ago, we are reminded of the resilience and strength exhibited by those who endured such hardships. It serves as an important testament to our collective history while also urging us to reflect on issues surrounding land rights, social justice, and human dignity that persist today. Bridgeman Images has preserved this evocative piece within their private collection for all to appreciate – allowing us to bear witness to the stories etched into every corner of this poignant photograph.
