Additional Information
Published only four years prior to Ireland’s union with Great Britain following a failed attempt in 1799 and a challenge by Robert Emmet in the Irish Rebellion of 1803, which was halted by British forces. Ireland remained primarily agrarian and was passed by in the Industrial Revolution that was occurring in England at the time due to a lack of coal and other mineral resources. Ireland did sustain a thriving linen production industry and exported numerous crops to Scotland, and England respectively. By the middle of the nineteenth century, more than a million Irish had emigrated off the island predominantly to the United States and Canada. These immigrant groups established numerous communities throughout the Northeast in New York and Boston, creating neighborhoods based on cultural lines, many of which exist to this day.
One of the most distinguishing facts of this unique piece of cartographical history is the blend of civil and ecclesiastical features, which demonstrates the long-running divide between Roman Catholics and Protestants. The two factions would continue their rivalry until the 1990s with the conclusion of the so-called Troubles, which saw violent clashes for nearly three decades between Catholic rebels and the British military.
This map's classic aesthetic and distinctive style immediately transports the viewer back in time, creating an indelible bond between the past and present. One of the most iconic places in Great Britain, Ireland’s rich history and storied past are a rich tapestry of traditional culture, classic architecture, and pastoral beauty.
