Background:

These engraved prints are from an Irish travelogue published in the late 1800s which featured the history and scenery of the country as a whole, as well as the individual counties.  Where possible we have noted (in parenthesis) the county represented in the scene.

The engravings were produced either from steel plates are color wood blocks.  Many illustrations are based on the work of the English naturalist illustrator William Bartlett.
