EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Birr Castle, located in County Offaly, Ireland. The castle served as the residence of the Earl of Rosse during the late 19th century. William Parsons, the 3rd Earl of Rosse, was not only an aristocrat but also a passionate astronomer. In 1845, he commissioned the construction of what would become known as the Leviathan of Parsonstown - at that time, it was the largest telescope in existence. The image is part of a collection called "A Series of Picturesque Views of Seats of Noblemen and Gentlemen" edited by Reverend FO Morris and published around 1880. It features wood-engraved plates based on paintings by Benjamin Fawcett and Alexander Francis Lydon. The photograph captures Birr Castle's stunning architecture against a backdrop filled with lush greenery and beautiful trees. The castle stands proudly as a fortification amidst its parkland surroundings. Its grandeur reflects both its historical significance and its connection to scientific exploration. Birr Castle remains an iconic symbol not only for its architectural beauty but also for Lord Rosse's contributions to astronomy. This enchanting print transports viewers back to a time when nature seamlessly intertwined with human achievements, offering us a glimpse into Ireland's rich heritage and scientific advancements from centuries past.
