Description
This is a collection of articles from the "London Illustrated News," pertaining to the Irish Potato famine. Unlike other newspapers during this time period, this newspaper tends to be more sympathetic to the Irish and their Horrible situations. It discusses everything from Individuals to certain events. This paper helped to keep the English updated to how the Famine was progressing in Ireland. Other papers like the "Puppet-Show" in England showed the Irish in a very negative light. This illustrations elicited a very emotional response to the reader that helped them to have empathy for the Irish. Publication started in 1842 and ceased in 2003. Herbert Ingram was the founder and printer of this paper, and the articles varied from local news to national news. However, the articles on the Great Hunger were probably the most haunting.
