History of the Irish Rebellion in 1798; with memoirs of the Union, and Emmett's insurrection in 1803
William Hamilton Maxwell's 1845 account of the 1798 Irish Rebellion, the Union and Emmet's 1803 rising, published in London for a general British readership and illustrated with etchings by George Cruikshank. The plates are crowded action scenes in fine line and stipple — pike charges, burning chapels, cabin massacres — with open skies, handwritten captions, and dense figure groupings usable as crowd and smoke references.
