Arrival of Charles Stewart Parnell, Irish Nationalist leader, imprisoned under the Coercion Act, at Kilmainham Gaol, Ireland. Arrested 13 October 1881 for sabotaging the Land Act
Illustration by William Barnes Wollen (1857–1936) from Cassell's Century Edition History of England, pub circa 1901. Info from wiki: Parnell's own newspaper, the United Ireland, attacked the Land Act[9] and he was arrested on 13 October 1881 together with his party lieutenants, William O'Brien, John Dillon, Michael Davitt and Willie Redmond, who had also conducted a bitter verbal offensive. They were imprisoned under a proclaimed Coercion Act in Kilmainham Gaol for "sabotaging the Land Act", from where the No Rent Manifesto, which Parnell and the others signed, was issued calling for a national tenant farmer rent strike. The Land League was suppressed immediately.
