One of the most attractive nineteenth-century views of Dublin, this magnificent bird’s-eye panorama presents the city from an elevated perspective, allowing the principal public buildings, streets, bridges, and landmarks to be seen in a single sweeping composition. Issued as number one in a projected series depicting the principal capitals of Europe, the view celebrates Dublin as one of the great cities of the British and Irish Isles and captures the capital at a period of significant architectural and commercial development.
Executed in colour and remarkable for both its scale and detail, the panorama provides a fascinating record of the city’s topography, urban expansion, and riverside setting.
