image OMAGH - IRISH POTATO FAMINE EYE-WITNESS ACCOUNT IN SHIP LETTER VIA LIVERPOOL TO BOSTON; 2/5 Apr. 1847 EL (minor toning) from "LIskey" (Co. Donegal) to Boston endorsed "Paid 8d Ship" In red with a faint "Drumquin/Omagh" village mark on the front along with v. fine blue "OMAGH", red Dublin "PAID" and "NEW YORK/SHIP/7cts" (15 May) transit cds's. There is a fine "SHIP LETTER/LIVERPOOL" cds on the flap. The contents from a mother to her son are a very sad and enlightening insight into the ghastly famine in this part of Ireland in the later 1840s; "...the worst news for Ireland is the failure of the potato crop... people are dying in all quarters with hunger and starvation... Ireland is done... I long to get out of the country, from among these poor people, for starvation is pictured almost in all countenances...". A rare and a graphic contemporary comment on the Potato Famine in Ireland from an eye-witness at the time.Cross Reference: TRANSATLANTIC MAIL, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (Image)
