 Here at Kennys, we have an exceptional collection of one thousand Antiquarian Maps & Prints of Ireland. The prints are all originals and the vast majority are dated between 1770 and 1890, with every effort having been made to determine the exact date of publication. The majority of the prints are in excellent condition, especially in consideration of their age, and are double mounted/matted ready for framing with a biographical note on the original artist and a description of the engraving technique used. Prints are professionally cleaned and many are handcoloured by a full-time artist. The prints depict contemporary scenes of Ireland, with a wide variety of picturesque landscapes. The sizes quoted are those of the engraved surface, with the height given first. In many cases, particularly with the antique maps, the original spelling has been used in the name. E.G.: Abby may be used instead of Abbey. Similarly many place names are given their original spellings. For example, "Ouchterard" may be listed instead of Oughterard and "Drumcong" instead of Drimcong. |
