Boys' Historical Clothing: New Pages--July 2016

Figure 1.--Joy was born in Ireland, but his outlook was British. This reflected his Protestant Huguenot bckground. Nothing demonstrates this more than his perhaps best known painting--'The King's drum shall never be beaten for rebels'. It depicted the 1798 rebellion in Ireland . It was a republican rebellion. The United Irishmen influenced by the ideas of the American and French revolutions, were the principal group fomenting rebellion. Joy painted it in 1891 by which time Irish Home Rule had become a major issue in British politics. It is a classic depiction of a drummer boy. The British drummer boy is protecting a wounded comrad from Irish revolutionaries and has pierced the drum top so the rebels can't use it. Notice there is also an Irush drummer boy.

Some HBC readers tell us that they would like to be able to access new pages, but do not want to receive E-mails on every new page added to HBC. We have also for several years now experienced problems dealing with AOL. Thus we have created this page for HBC readers. We will list new pages or existing pages to which we have added additional information. We used to maintain a page like this. We know from this experience that we sometimes forget to add a new page, but we will try to remember to do this as much as possible. There will not be a link on our home page so you will want to add this to your favorites/book marks. We plan to only make this page available to readers who support HBC. There may be occasional changes in the URL. Just let us know if you have any question about this HBC feature.
