EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Symbol of Irish Heritage and Charity: Hibernian Benevolent Institution Membership Certificate, 1855 2. Description: This antique print showcases the emblem of the Hibernian Benevolent Institution, an Irish charitable organization established in Pottsville, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, in 1833. The image at the center of the print features a compassionate woman caring for a sick man as two well-dressed men enter the room. The presence of an eagle perched on an Irish harp above the scene symbolizes the institution's commitment to the welfare of the Irish community. 3. Context: The left side of the print displays two horses, a powerful symbol of strength and stability, and a shield bearing the motto "Virtue, Liberty, and Independence." The right side of the image features a tree, representing growth and renewal, and Masonic implements, symbolizing the organization's connection to the Freemasons. The Irish harp at the base of the image further emphasizes the organization's Irish heritage. 4. Historical Significance: The Hibernian Benevolent Institution was founded to provide assistance to Irish immigrants in the United States, particularly during times of economic hardship and illness. The organization's name, "Hibernian," is derived from the Latin word for Ireland. This membership certificate, issued in the mid-19th century, serves as a testament to the institution's commitment to providing aid and support to its members. 5. Inscription: The bottom of the print includes a blank space for filling in the name of the new member, the date of their election, and the names of the institution's secretary and president. The print is dated circa 1855, providing a glimpse into the rich history of this important Irish charitable organization.
