EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Ireland just before the English (Norman) invasion in 1169. Created by an unknown artist and featured in John Richard Green's A Short History of the English People, this illustration provides a glimpse into the country's medieval landscape. The map is richly colored, showcasing the diverse terrain and kingdoms that once thrived across Ireland. It captures both the beauty and complexity of a land steeped in history and culture. The vibrant hues transport us to a distant era, where lush green fields, rolling hills, and winding rivers dominate the landscape. As we study this image closely, we can almost feel the anticipation hanging in the air - for it was during this period that Ireland would face one of its most significant challenges: an invasion by Norman forces from England. This event would forever shape Irish history and have far-reaching consequences for both nations. The print serves as a reminder of how maps were not only tools for navigation but also powerful instruments for understanding political boundaries and historical events. Its inclusion in Green's book signifies its importance as a visual aid to help readers comprehend complex historical narratives. Through this photograph print, we are transported back centuries ago to witness Ireland on the brink of change – standing at a crossroads between past traditions and future struggles.
