What is recorded here
Fitzgerald died in County Dublin in 1925, returning to the island that gave him life after decades of chronicling London stages. He had sculpted Dickens and Johnson, carved marble memories of men who lived only in ink, and buried those shapes in public streets. The boy from Fane Valley became the hand that made ghosts visible, shaping what others could touch but never hold.
