Sketches at Galway - A Glimpse into the Vibrant Streets of 19th Century Ireland
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Sketches at Galway" offers a fascinating glimpse into the bustling streets of Galway in the 19th century. Captured by an English School artist and now part of a private collection, this engraving was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on February 22,1873. The scene depicted showcases the lively atmosphere that once filled the streets of Galway. Women and men can be seen going about their daily activities, adding color and character to the cityscape. The presence of boats and a tugboat hints at Galway's strong connection with maritime trade and transport during that era. Notably, this print also captures scenes from Claddagh, a historic fishing village located just outside Galway City. In one corner, boys playfully engage with each other while nearby fishermen prepare their boats for another day's work. These details provide us with valuable insights into both everyday life and traditional industries in this coastal region. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are fortunate to have access to such historical treasures like these sketches from long ago. As we admire this artwork today, it serves as a reminder of how much our world has evolved over time while still retaining its unique charm and cultural heritage.
