EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches of Irish Character in Dublin" takes us back to the enchanting streets of 19th-century Ireland. The engraving, created by Harry Furniss and part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into the vibrant tapestry of Dublin life during that era. In this bustling scene, we are transported to the heart of Dublin's street scenes. Hibernian military school boys march proudly alongside porters carrying their heavy loads. A charming maid from Dublin catches our eye with her traditional attire, while an intriguing "black spot" adds an air of mystery to the surroundings. The image is filled with lively characters representing various facets of Irish society. Street traders peddle their wares, including coal and apples, as Cockee women add a touch of color with their vibrant outfits. Trinity College porters stand tall amidst the chaos, embodying both tradition and academia. Every corner seems to hold its own story - from the heaver laboriously transporting goods to Suay's famous establishment nearby. This engraving beautifully captures not only the essence but also the diversity that makes up Irish character in Dublin. Bridgeman Images has masterfully preserved this snapshot in time for us all to admire and reflect upon. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these sketches continue to evoke curiosity about history and culture through artistry alone.
