EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1919 showcases Hubert George de Burgh-Canning, the 2nd Marquess of Clanricarde. Created by Leslie Matthew Ward, also known as Spy, this portrait captures the essence of a man who was both influential and controversial during his time. Hubert George de Burgh-Canning, born in 1832 and passing away in 1916, held a notorious reputation as one of Ireland's most repressive absentee landlords. His vast estate resided in Portumna, County Galway - an area deeply affected by the land wars that plagued Ireland during this era. In this striking image, we see Lord Clanricarde seated with an air of authority befitting his aristocratic status. His full-length figure exudes Victorian elegance while his aged features and distinguished beard hint at a life well-lived. While celebrated within certain circles for his position among the aristocracy, Lord Clanricarde faced immense criticism for his treatment of Irish tenants. The contentious issue of absentee landlords and their impact on rural communities loomed large during this period. This lithograph serves as a reminder not only of Lord Clanricarde's influence but also sheds light on the complex social dynamics that shaped Ireland's history. It stands as a testament to the power wielded by landowners like him and offers insight into an era defined by struggle between classes. Displayed here is more than just a print; it is a window into an important chapter in Irish history captured through artistry
