Engraving of the Castle of Carrigafoyle in County Kerry, Ireland
This historical engraving depicts the Castle of Carrigafoyle, located in County Kerry, Ireland. The castle, built in the late 15th century, served as a stronghold of the O'Connor Kerry family and played a significant role during the Desmond Rebellions. The illustration portrays the castle's prominent location on the Shannon Estuary, surrounded by water, with its defensive walls and tower keep clearly delineated.
The scene is highly detailed, including elements such as cannons being positioned, siege activity, and ships in the estuary, emphasizing its military significance. The engraving includes the title, "The Castle of Carrigafoyle in Kerry," and a descriptive note about the cannon placement and its eventual capture, reflecting its importance during military campaigns.
This piece provides a rare glimpse into 16th-century Irish fortifications and warfare. Measuring approximately [please provide dimensions if known], it showcases fine craftsmanship typical of early cartographic and illustrative works.
Artistic and Historical Context:
Carrigafoyle Castle was besieged and captured by Sir William Pelham during the First Desmond Rebellion in 1580, a pivotal moment in Irish history. This engraving likely commemorates the event, blending historical narrative with cartographic detail. It was likely produced in the late 16th or early 17th century, possibly for inclusion in a historical or military compendium.
The artwork is valuable for collectors of Irish history, military engravings, or maps, serving as both an artistic and educational artifact.
