Trinity College, Dublin c. 1793

This aquatint by James Malton, titled "Trinity College, Dublin," depicts the grand facade of the college as it appeared in the late 18th century. Malton, a celebrated architectural draughtsman, used a technique that combined etching and aquatint to produce a detailed and atmospheric view. The image captures the elegance of the building, with its classical design and intricate details, while also providing a glimpse of daily life in Dublin during that era. The inclusion of figures, carriages, and a bustling street scene adds a sense of dynamism to this historical view of the iconic institution.
