EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1832 showcases the Glenmire Bridge, a historical gem near Cork, Ireland. Engraved by E. Finden and based on a work by Richard Westall, this print takes us back in time to witness the beauty and significance of this ancient structure. The Glenmire Bridge at Riverstown is believed to be one of the oldest constructions in Cork, with its origins dating back centuries. Legends claim that even Oliver Cromwell himself rode over it during his inspection of Glanmire as part of the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland. In this picturesque scene, we are transported to the tranquil countryside surrounding the bridge. The stone crossing gracefully spans across a gentle river, blending harmoniously with its natural surroundings. A charming Irish house stands nearby, adding character and warmth to the landscape. Figures can be seen in the distance - perhaps locals going about their daily lives or travelers passing through this idyllic spot. But it is undoubtedly the rider on horseback who steals our attention; an embodiment of history galloping through time. This engraving not only captures a moment frozen in history but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience throughout generations. It reminds us that even structures built long ago continue to hold stories within their walls and stand as witnesses to significant events that have shaped our world today.
