• Source: A Picturesque and Descriptive View of the City of Dublin

A Picturesque and Descriptive View of the City of Dublin is a set of 25 architectural prints of well-known buildings and views in Dublin, Ireland illustrated by the engraver, watercolourist, and draughtsman James Malton at the end of the 18th century. 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.
The images were influenced by and even directly reproduced earlier perspectives and views of Dublin including those by Joseph Tudor in 1753 and Charles Brooking in 1728.
The drawings have been copied and reproduced hundreds of times and have become synonymous with the development and progression of the city.
