James Mahoney

Born: 1810, Ireland, Cork   Died: 1879, UK, England, London

Illustrator and watercolourist, ARHA. Son of a joiner. It is thought that he studied in Rome. His subsequent travels throughout Italy and France inspired the watercolour townscapes he exhibited at the Royal Hibernian Academy, 1842-46. Soon after, the Illustrated London News employed Mahoney to visit Clonakilty and Skibbereen in West Cork, two areas ravaged by famine, and sketch his observations; the resulting engravings swayed the public opinion and forced the British government to act. In 1856 Mahoney was elected a associate of the Royal Hibernian Academy, and in 1859 he moved to London and began exhibiting at the Royal Academy. During this time he resumed his illustrating career, working for the Illustrated London News amongst numerous other London journals and the 'Household Edition' of Charles Dickens' works.
