These are beautiful, vintage, mid-century reproduction prints of hand-colored architectural engravings of well-known buildings and views in Dublin, Ireland illustrated by the engraver, watercolorist, and draughtsman James Malton at the end of the 18th century. The set of 2 features "The Parliament House, Dublin" and "View of the Law-Courts, Looking up the Liffey, Dublin". The prints are framed in gilt frames in Ireland by Whitecliff during the mid-century. Very crisp prints with sage green mats, heavy board backings, and a hook on the back of each for easy hanging.
At the time of drawing in 1791, many of the buildings had been newly constructed and marked a high point of architecture, wealth, and political prominence of the city of Dublin. Malton's prints are arguably, the most important series of drawings of Dublin to the present day, and almost all of the buildings illustrated still stand and maintain their position at the centre of Irish social, cultural, educational, political, commercial, and legal life. Parliament House was home to the Parliament of Ireland, and since 1803 has housed the Bank of Ireland.

Very slight wrinkling at the top of the prints where they are affixed to the mat from years of hanging. Looks like rays of the sun & adds to the vintage appeal. The frames show only minor signs of wear due to age and use. No scratches on the glass fronts. Please see all the photos as they are a part of the description. less
