Ireland 1847 – Asenath Nicholson | “The first that called my attention was the death-like stillness – nothing of life was seen or heard, except occasionally a dog. These looked so unlike all others I had seen among the poor – I unwittingly said, ‘How can the dogs look so fat and shining here, where there is no food for the people?’ The pilot turned to Mr. Griffith, not supposing that I heard him, and said, ‘Shall I tell her?’ That was enough: if anything were wanting to make the horrors of the Famine complete, this supplied the deficiency.” Taken from the book 'The Truth Behind The Irish Famine' by Jerry Mulvihill. 72 paintings and 472 eyewitness quotes. www.jerrymulvihill.com

Ireland 1849 | Sidney Osborne. “Sometimes they will make a sort of stye within the walls and between the gables, keeping it so low as to avoid observation and into this stye they will creep, and dwell till utter want forces them out, or they die, are found by the police, and carried out.” Taken from The Truth Behind The Irish Famine, 100 images, 472 eye witness quotes. Signed copies at: www.jerrymulvihill.com

Ireland 1849 | Sidney Osborne, English travel writer “We overtook two children, boys I should suppose, from 10 to 12 years of age; one, himself very far from strong, was supporting the staggering steps of the other, evidently sinking in the last stage of famine. I know not how far he had to go, before he found a shelter on earth, I feel a comfort in my assurance that his hours were numbered there.” Taken from ‘The Truth Behind The Irish Famine, signed copies here: www.jerrymulvihill.com
