EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches on the West Coast of Donegal" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rugged beauty of Ireland's west coast. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases various scenes that highlight the region's unique topography and coastal villages. The image transports us to ancient burial places and picturesque landscapes such as Slieve League and Bunglass. We can almost feel the salty breeze from Teelin Bay and hear the crashing waves along Carrigan Head. The cottages dotting Glen Bay and Malin Beg add a touch of charm to this wild coastline. As we explore this visual narrative, it becomes evident that these sketches were originally published in The Illustrated London News in April 1889. They offer a historical perspective on life in rural Ireland during that time period. The print captures not only the natural beauty but also hints at maritime activities with references to kelp gathering along the shorelines. It is clear that this piece celebrates both the scenic splendor and cultural heritage of Donegal, Sligo, and their surrounding areas. Displayed within a private collection, this artwork from Bridgeman Images allows viewers to appreciate how art can transport us through time while preserving moments frozen forever in ink.
