Three men hanged in Manchester, England, in November 1867 are the subject here: William Allen, Michael Larkin and William O'Brien, executed for the death of a police sergeant during an attempt to free Fenian prisoners, and later known as the Manchester Martyrs. Their deaths made them rallying figures for Irish nationalists on both sides of the Atlantic. Portraits paired with the harp, the long-standing emblem of Ireland, were a common way to turn those executions into a claim of national sacrifice, aimed at viewers who had never been to Ireland.
