16/04/2017.Reading time 7 minutes.

O! BREATHE not his name! let it sleep in the shade, Where cold and unhonoured his relics are laid; Sad, silent, and dark be the tears that we shed, As the night dew that falls on the grave o’er his head. But the night dew that falls, though in silence it weeps, Shall brighten with […]

An Irish Labourer on the Public Works | 1845–52
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
Irish Wolfhounds | “Gentle when stroked, fierce when provoked” #ireland🇮🇪 #irishwolfhound #irishwolfhoundsofinstagram #dogsofinstagram
"Irish Emigrants in New York 1847“ Ciarán Ó Murchadha - Historian | These shy, gullible people were stunned and overwhelmed by their new surroundings, terrified by the great roaring cities in which they found themselves. This bewilderment is evident in some of the contemporary prints which show them crouched along the quayside, meagre possessions piled up protectively about them.”Taken from The Truth Behind The Irish Famine, 100 images, 400 eye witness quotes: www.jerrymulvihill.com
Ireland 1845-52 | Sidney Osborne: “On our journey we had ample opportunity of seeing to what shifts the peasantry will resort before they will face the union house after they have been evicted and seen their homes tumbled. Their usual practice is, with the thatch and some of the roof stick s, to build up a dwelling called a scalpeen, the most common form of this specie of dwelling is what I suppose an Englishman would call, the lean-to.” Taken from The Truth Behind The Irish Famine, 72 paintings, 472 eye witness quotes: www.jerrymulvihill.com
Ireland 1847 | A Police officer investigating a cabin. ASENATH NICHOLSON “He enquired what she had in the pot - she was silent; he looked in, and saw a dog.” Taken from ‘The Truth Behind The Irish Famine, 100 Images, 474 eyewitness quotes. signed copies here: www.jerrymulvihill.com
