An observation by a German travel writer during the Irish Great Hunger 1845-52. “Only two classes of people exist here, the rich and the poor. The aristocracy have their manors in the countryside. The rest of the island is teaming with half naked, starved creatures”. From ‘The Truth Behind The Irish Famine’ :72 paintings, 472 quotes: http://www.jerrymulvihill.com
