"Mr. Barney Maguire's Account of the Coronation" is an illustration by the renowned English book illustrator Arthur Rackham, created for the 1898 edition of "The Ingoldsby Legends or Mirth and Marvels" by Thomas Ingoldsby, a pen name for the English clergyman Richard Harris Barham. This work is part of a collection of myths, legends, ghost stories, and poetry that was first published in 1840 and became popular for its humorous and whimsical style.

The illustration accompanies a poem within the collection that humorously recounts the coronation of Queen Victoria from the perspective of Barney Maguire, an Irishman. Rackham's illustration captures the essence of the poem, portraying the grandeur and ceremony of the coronation through the eyes of the character. The artwork is characterized by Rackham's distinctive style, which often includes elements of fantasy and a keen attention to detail.

Arthur Rackham (1867–1939) was one of the most celebrated illustrators of the early 20th century, known for his richly imaginative and often darkly whimsical illustrations for books such as "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens," "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," and "The Wind in the Willows." His work for "The Ingoldsby Legends" helped to solidify his reputation as a master illustrator and contributed to the enduring popularity of the collection.

"Mr. Barney Maguire's Account of the Coronation" is a fine example of Rackham's work during a period when the art of book illustration was flourishing. The 1898 edition of "The Ingoldsby Legends" is particularly prized by collectors and enthusiasts of Rackham's art for its intricate and expressive illustrations that bring the text to life.
