"A Correct Survey of the Bay of Dublin" is an engraving by James Malton, a prominent Irish artist known for his topographical works. This detailed map, dating from 1795, depicts the harbor and surrounding landscape of Dublin, Ireland, highlighting the city's geographical features and offering a glimpse into its urban layout. The precise depiction of the coastline, buildings, and waterways demonstrates Malton's meticulous approach to mapmaking, capturing the city's essence with striking accuracy. This print provides invaluable insights into Dublin's development and its importance as a key maritime center in the late 18th century. The Art Institute of Chicago now houses this historical map, which stands as a testament to Malton's artistic talent and his role in documenting the world around him.
