John Francis Maguire (1815-1872): A Dedicated Home Ruler This evocative portrait captures the intense gaze and determined expression of John Francis Maguire, an Irish writer and politician who played a significant role in the political landscape of 19th century Ireland. Born in Waterford, Maguire was elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Dungarvan in 1852, marking the beginning of his political career. However, his tenure was brief, as he resigned on 20 April 1852 through appointment as Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds, a position that allowed him to relinquish his seat without losing the right to stand for election again. Maguire's political beliefs were deeply rooted in Irish nationalism and home rule. He was a passionate advocate for Irish self-governance and worked tirelessly to promote the cause. After a brief hiatus from politics, he was once again elected as an MP, this time for Cork City, in 1865. He served in this capacity until his death in 1872. This photograph, taken in 1872, captures Maguire in the prime of his political career. His intense gaze and steady hand on the table before him speak to his unwavering commitment to the cause of Irish home rule. Maguire's legacy continues to be felt in Irish politics, as his dedication to the cause of self-determination paved the way for future generations of Irish nationalists. This portrait is a testament to a man who dedicated his life to the pursuit of Irish independence and self-governance.
