EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Custom House in Dublin, Ireland, circa 1890. Designed by the esteemed architect James Gandon, this architectural masterpiece stands as a testament to Georgian elegance and grandeur. The Custom House is renowned for its classical features, including a prominent cupola that graces its roofline. However, history has left its mark on this iconic building. In 1921, during the Irish Civil War, an IRA attack resulted in a devastating fire that ravaged the interior of the Custom House. Despite this tragedy, the exterior remains intact and continues to exude its timeless charm. The image captures not only the splendor of the Custom House but also offers glimpses into life along Dublin's bustling waterfront. Boats and barges dotting the River Liffey paint a vivid picture of transportation and trade during that era. The presence of sailing ships further emphasizes Dublin's significance as a thriving port city. Warwick Goble masterfully immortalizes this scene through his exquisite engraving technique while W Lawrence skillfully brings out every detail with vibrant colors. Together they have created an artwork that allows us to appreciate both architecture and geography simultaneously. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of how historical events can shape our built environment but also how resilience can preserve cherished landmarks for generations to come.
