EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Carrickfergus Castle, located in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Taken from George Virtue's "Scenery and Antiquities of Ireland" in the 1860s, this engraving by William Henry Bartlett captures the essence of this historic landmark. Standing tall at an impressive height of 90 feet, Carrickfergus Castle is perched on a projecting rock overlooking the sea. Its origins date back to the end of the 12th century when it was constructed by John de Courci. The castle's strategic location near the coast made it a vital defense structure throughout history. The image portrays not only the castle itself but also its surrounding features that add to its allure. A picturesque port with sailing boats can be seen nearby, highlighting both its maritime significance and fishing activities that have long been part of local life. The sturdy walls and battlements serve as a reminder of its defensive purpose while showcasing remarkable architectural design. This print offers viewers a glimpse into Northern Ireland's rich heritage and historical landmarks. It invites us to appreciate both the natural beauty of County Antrim's coastline and man-made structures that have stood strong for centuries. With every detail captured meticulously by Bartlett, this artwork serves as a testament to our fascination with ancient fortifications and their enduring appeal.
