Marketing National Sentiment: Lantern Slides of Evictions in Late Nineteenth-century Ireland

Fintan Cullen1

1 The Department of Art History at the University of Nottingham

This essay examines the marketing of magic lantern slides of rural eviction scenes in Ireland in the 1890s. Focussing initially on a street demonstration on the night of Victoria's jubilee celebrations in 1897 in Dublin, where lantern slides of recent evictions were shown to a growingly agitated crowd, the paper examines the potency of these visual representations and examines their dissemination. Comparisons are made with other scenes of evictions in a variety of visual media, while suggestions are offered as to why advanced nationalists such as Maude Gonne (1866 - 1953) used this material to beat the empire.
