EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving, titled "Old Chapel Road, Dungarvan: A Scene of the Late Food Riots, 1846" takes us back to a significant moment in Irish history. The image captures the essence of a Victorian town on Ireland's south coast during the 19th century. Located in County Waterford, Dungarvan served as an administrative center and a bustling harbor resort. The illustrative technique used in this engraved image beautifully depicts the seaside culture and arts prevalent at that time. The retro-styled print transports us to an era where horse-drawn carriages traversed cobbled streets lined with charming buildings. However, beneath its picturesque facade lies a darker story. In 1846, Old Chapel Road became witness to food riots that plagued Ireland during the Great Famine. This historic event marked one of many struggles faced by the local population during this devastating period. As we admire this evocative piece from Arkheia's collection without commercial intent, let it serve as a reminder of our shared past and how far we have come since then. It is through understanding our history that we can appreciate our present achievements and strive for a better future for all.
