Dublin Views in Colour
Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

"Recreates for us the architecture and the lifestyle of Dublin in the final decade of the eighteenth century, a period when the city was one of the most splendid in Europe and its buildings and prospects so impressed the English draughtsman James Malton that he wrote in the prospectus to his work that he was 'struck with admiration at the beauty of the capital of Ireland, and was desirous to make a display of it to the world.' His aquatint plates of Dublin were first issued as monochrome prints during the 1790's, before being collected in one volume as A Picturesque and Descriptive View of the City of Dublin, issued with texts and maps in 1799. Later issues of the book had the plates printed in colour aquatint, with some heightened detail added by hand in watercolour ... Dublin Views has fine full colour reproductions of all twenty-five aquatints and the plate of the Arms of Dublin. The finely engraved title and dedication pages from the original edition are also reproduced, all, by permission of the Director and the Trustees, from a superb original copy in the National Library of Ireland"--Publisher description, p.
