‘Views of the most remarkable Public Buildings, Monuments and other Edifices in the City of Dublin’ is the first picture-book of Dublin ever to appear. The authors’ aim was clearly to illustrate and bring up to date, with an informative text, the very remarkable and considerable achievements in the development of the city’s architecture’ (Maurice Craig)
