Essential Ireland

Small exhibition at the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin looking at place sought out by visitors to Ireland over the last 300 years.

It included illustrations for guidebooks and the commentaries compared the places then and now.

I liked a picture of Londonderry by Andrew Nicholl with a bank of flowers in the foreground and a picture of the Customs House  in Dublin by James Malton from 1793 which made it look almost Venetian.
