Eviction Party
Irish tenants evicted by landlords from their smallholding and made homeless for the non-payment of rent during The Great Famine (1845 - 1849) which was caused by the failure of the Irish potato crop and British government inaction. The thatched roof of their house is removed to prevent it being re-tenanted. Original publication - Illustrated London News - The Ejectment Of Irish Tenantry - pub. 16th December 1848 (Photo by Illustrated London News /Hulton Archive/Getty Images)
