EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Custom House, Dublin" as depicted in George Virtue's renowned book, "Scenery and Antiquities of Ireland". The image, captured by William Henry Bartlett in the 1860s, offers a glimpse into the architectural magnificence of this iconic landmark. Built in 1781 by James Gandon, The Custom House stands proudly on the banks of River Liffey. Its neo-classical design is a testament to Gandon's genius and attention to detail. The grand portico with its towering columns and intricate carvings exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. As we gaze upon this engraving from Bartlett's lens, our eyes are drawn to the bustling activity surrounding the Custom House. A ship majestically sails down the river while a steam-powered vessel chugs along beside it. These vessels symbolize Dublin's thriving maritime trade during that era. The dome atop the building adds another layer of grandeur to its already impressive facade. It serves as a reminder of Dublin's rich history as an important port city. This print transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the architectural beauty and historical significance of The Custom House. It serves as a window into Ireland's past and invites us to marvel at its enduring charm.
