IRELAND ILLUSTRATED
FROM ORIGINAL DRAWINGS BY G PETRIE, RHA, W H BARTLETT AND T M BAYNES
WITH DESCRIPTIONS BY G N WRIGHT, MA - 1881

The illustrators that contributed to this work were of an extremely high calibre and this is reflected in the prints produced. The prints consist of picturesque views of the landscape as well as busy street scenes, showing the nature of the areas depicted and the culture of the people. There are also images of the various castles throughout Ireland in all their glory as well as other buildings of interest.

WILLIAM HENRY BARTLETT (1809-1854) was a topographical illustrator who was articled to John Britton. He travelled in 1830, visiting Syria, Egypt, Palestine and America. He died on this voyage around the world, at sea at the tender age of 45 years.

GEORGE PETRIE PRHA (1789-1866) was a topographer and landscape painter. Born in Dublin, his Father was a miniature painter, with whom he studied as well as attending the RDS schools. He then focused solely on landscapes. He travelled throughout Ireland and Wales with the artists: J. A. O'Connor and F. Danby in the early 19th century. In 1826, he was elected Associate to the Royal Hibernian Academy and then a full member in 1828. He then became the Librarian in 1829 and the President in 1856, a position that he held until aged 70 years. As well as producing images, he also wrote articles for the Dublin Penny Journal - 1822-23 and was Editor of the Irish Penny Journal in 1842. His watercolours were not considered to be as attractive as his ink drawings, the former being composed more formally. He died in Dublin aged 76/7.

Petrie's work can also be found in the following publications: Ancient Music of Ireland - 1855; Excursions Through Ireland - 1819; New Picture of Dublin - 1821; Historical Guide to Ancient and Modern Dublin - 1821 and Beauties of Ireland - 1825-6.
