EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the historic Tholsel Houses of Dublin, Ireland, as they stood in the year 1817, just two years before their unfortunate demise. The Tholsel Houses, located in the heart of the city, served as significant administrative and financial centres where people exchanged money. The lower floor of the building was transformed into a bustling marketplace, adding to the vibrant energy of Dublin's commercial core. The image portrays a carriage making its way along the cobblestone streets, passing by the imposing structure. The Tholsel Houses, with their grand arches and intricate stonework, exude an air of importance and history. The year 1798 is inscribed on the building, marking an era of significant change in Irish history. Despite their importance to Dublin's financial and administrative landscape, the Tholsel Houses were demolished in 1809. The loss of this architectural gem was deeply felt by the people of Dublin, who had relied on the buildings for essential services. The print serves as a poignant reminder of the city's rich history and the transient nature of even the most iconic structures. The Tholsel Houses were also associated with customs and duties, adding another layer of significance to their role in Dublin's commercial and administrative life. This print offers a glimpse into Dublin's past, transporting us back in time to an era of horse-drawn carriages, bustling markets, and the daily exchange of money and goods.
