Shows ‘Lord Longbow’ (Lord Moira) looking in horror across the sea to Ireland at English soldiers raping a woman and eating her child. 14 by 16in. (35.6 by 40.6cm) Condition: Very good, framed and glazed. The full title of this print is Lord Longbow, the Alarmist, Discovering the Miseries of Ireland with the puffing out of the little farthing Rush-Light, and ye story of Moll Coggin. The print was a reaction to several speeches in 1797/98 by the Irish-born Lord Moira, criticising the treatment of the Irish by the Anglo-Irish government. His point was that arbitrary and repressive measures carried out in Ireland in the name of preserving order were in fact the worst way of ensuring the much needed support of the Irish against threats from France. Indeed, he argued, such harsh measures would eventually lead to further discontent and indeed open rebellion.
