Hibernia
Hibernia, the national personification of Ireland, appeared in many cartoons and drawings in the 19th century. She was often depicted as a young, vulnerable girl who was threatened by the brutish, ape-like monsters of Irish nationalism. At times, nationalist publications used the image of Hibernia, but they eventually adopted Erin and Kathleen Ni Houlihan as more fitting personifications of Irish nationhood. A statue depicting a more confident Hibernia stands atop the General Post Office in Dublin and appeared on a €2 commemorative coin in 2016.
