Ireland 1859 | Sydney 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.
