Ireland 1847 | Asenath Nicholson “I gave a little boy a biscuit, and a thousand times since have I wished that it had been thrown into the sea; it could not save him. He took it between his bony hands, clasped it tight, and half-bent as he was, lifted them up, looked with his glaring eyes upon me, and gave a laughing grin that was truly horrible. The curate turned aside, and beckoned me away. ‘Did you see that horrid attempt to laugh? I cannot stay longer, was my answer’.” Taken from The Truth Behind The Irish Famine, 100 images, 472 eye witness quotes. Signed copies at: www.jerrymulvihill.com

The Forty Foot and Christmas Morning
Christmas 1847 in Ireland | James Tuke “The people were turned out of doors and the roofs of their houses pulled down. That night they made a tent or shelter of wood and straw; however, the drivers [bailiffs] threw them down and drove them from the place. . .It would have pitied the sun to look at them, as they had to go head first into the storm. . . . It was a night of high wind and storm, and wailing could be heard at a great distance. They implored the drivers to allow them to remain a short time as it was so near that time of Festival [Christmas] but they would not.” Taken from The Truth Behind The Irish Famine, 72 paintings, 472 eye witness quotes: www.jerrymulvihill.com #ireland #christmas #history
