Discussing the new Irish Land Act, 1881. 'Our Artist in Ireland has sketched the attitudes and gestures of a small family party, with a neighbour or two, discussing the topic of most urgent interest at the present time. The Commissioners appointed to put the Land Act into execution have entered upon the business of their office at 24, Upper Merrion-street, Dublin. They have issued a circular, which states very clearly and precisely the great and beneficial effects of the new law upon the legal position of Irish tenant farmers'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
