The Shaughraun - This image was published by the firm of Currier & Ives who operated in New York from 1834 to 1907. It ostensibly illustrates act II, scene I of THE SHAUGHRAUN, the play by Dion Boucicault which premiered in New York in November 1874. In fact it is based on a painting by Daniel Maclise (1806-1870) entitled “Snap Apple Night”, which Maclise painted in 1833, basing it on a scene he witnessed the year before in Bantry, co. Cork. The detail of one of the company holding a drink to the lips of the piper is found in other 19th c. paintings and appears to have been a not uncommon witticism.
