Sketch in a House at Fahey's Quay, Ennis - the Widow Connor and her Dying Child, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Sketch in a House at Fahey's Quay, Ennis - the Widow Connor and her Dying Child, 1850. Suffering during the Irish Potato Famine: In Ennis I went through the lanes and alleys, and amongst the most distressed part of the population. In one small room, not 20 feet square, I found congregated fifteen people, young and old, exhibiting nearly all the phases of want and squalor. From the smoke which filled the place, it was a Rembrandt scene, and it was with difficulty I could make out the forms of the wretched groups, or of the squalid and dying child on the floor'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
