Picture No 10220188
Date 1850
Description A destitute father with his daughter in Ireland
Details

Keillines, near General Thompson's property. This destitute father and young daughter lack even the most rudimentary shelter. The young girl looks sad and worried and watches her father sitting hunched over. Their abject poverty is highlighted by the two paltry possessions on the ground beside them and the stark mountain landscape that frames their miserable condition. This scene was common during the potato rot and evictions in Ireland.
