Framed Print of The State of Ireland: rent agent's office as it used to be - drinking his honour's health, 1881
The State of Ireland: rent agent's office as it used to be - drinking his honour's health, 1881. Two Sketches by our Special Artist in Ireland are designed to illustrate, by comparison, the social change that has been wrought by the Land League agitation. One represents "A Boycotted Land-agent's office; Rent Day; but no Rent." It has been observed that, notwithstanding the strong pressure which is being put on the tenants by the landlords, rents come in but slowly, and in many cases not all. Nearly every day meetings take place between the landlord, or his agent, and the tenants; but, in spite of the most tempting offers of reduction, the answer generally is, "No rent till after the release of the prisoners arrested under the Coercion Act." The second Sketch, which shows the rent-office as it used to be before the Land League agitation, is a reminiscence. It was the custom in most, agents offices on rent days to keep some whisky on hand, with which the tenants, after paying the rent, would drink "Longlife to his honour." In the larger and more generous offices there would be a luncheon spread for all comers, in an adjoining room'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
