Created by Thomas Rowlandson in the late 18th century, this satirical drawing captures a pivotal moment in Irish history. The image portrays a group of Irish politicians gathered for a meeting, their faces filled with shock and horror as they are presented with visual evidence of the consequences of republicanism during the French Revolution. The artist's intention is to highlight the dangers and potential chaos that can arise from adopting such radical ideologies. Rowlandson's caricature style adds an element of humor to this scathing satire, while also emphasizing its underlying message. The exaggerated expressions on each politician's face reflect their terror and disbelief at what they are witnessing.
