Remembering Harry Furniss (1854-1925) 

On the 100th anniversary of the death of Wexford-born comic book artist, cartoonist, caricaturist and illustrator Harry Furniss.

This presentation looks back on his career from his early comic book work to his illustrations for novels by authors such as Lewis Carroll and Charles Dickens. 

Paul Byrne lives in Wexford Town and is currently working as a Tourism Representative and Historian at Enniscorthy Castle, the National 1798 Rebellion Centre and the Vinegar Hill Battlefield Site.

Paul has a BA (Hons) in Cultural Heritage Studies and a postgraduate degree in Public History & Cultural Heritage. He is currently studying for an MA in Museum Practice and Management at Ulster University.

Paul is looking forward to providing a programme of history talks in our five libraries and local communities that will connect people in County Wexford to their local history from 1925 and preceding years.
