AFTER JOSEPH TUDOR by James McArdell and others un-named A set of six framed and glazed hand coloured topographical prints including: A Prospect of the Parliament House in College Green; A Prospect of the Library of Trinity College; A Prospect of the Barracks of Dublin; A Prospect of the Upper Castle Court; A Prospect of the Custom's House A set of six colour engravings, 24 x 38cm each (6) ''London, printed for Robert Sayer Map & Printseller, at The Golden Buck near Serjeants Inn, Fleet Street''. To Joseph Tudor belongs the credit for originating the first set of Dublin topographical prints even if his half dozen images executed circa 1750 were almost entirely excised from public consciousness when in 1799 Thomas Malton published ''A picturesque & descriptive view of the City Of Dublin'' which contained containing 25 aquatints. This fact goes a long way towards explaining the rarity of the Tudor prints and illustrates the difficulty collectors have experienced in putting together a set from any of the three named publishers, all London based, J McArdell, Robert Sayer and Laurie & Whittel. The text in each case is published in French as well as English and the fact that some are numbered 1-6 and other 111-116 is evidence that part of the imprint must have been bound up along with other similar English, Scottish and Western European topographical prints. However not even Andrew Bonar-Law has ever come across such a collected version. The Dublin set consists of: 1) A prospect of the City of Dublin from the Magazine Hill in his Majesties Phoenix Park [Note: The Royal Kilmainham Hospital is on the extreme right, Dr Steevens Hospital in the centre.] 2) A prospect of His Majesties Barracks. [This has now taken on an entirely new function as the site of the National Museum.] 3) A prospect of the Upper Castle Court. 4) A prospect of the Custom House and Essex Bridge. [In this case offering a rare if not unique view of the original Custom House which stood below Essex, now Capel Street, Bridge and which was replaced by the Malton illustrated Gandon building.] 5) A prospect of the Parliament House in College Green, Dublin. [Offers a fine vista of how Dame Street looked to someone standing in front of the University with St Andrew's Church to the left. The Parliament building still survives but it now houses the Bank of Ireland.] 6) A prospect of the Library of Trinity College, Dublin. [This is the first illustration of the Library which is home to the Book of Kells and today is one of the prime tourist attractions in the city. Then the boundary wall lay immediately beyond the library and this demonstrates how much land has been reclaimed from the sea in the last two hundred and fifty years.]. Provenance: Bought individually over a period of almost twenty years from Andrew Bonar-Law, Hugh Iremonger and Mrs Phyllis Jackson, Dublin 2. Numbers 1, 4, 5, and 6 were shown at the Swift Exhibition organised by Bruce Arnold for the National Library of Ireland in 1999 as offering the closest approximation to the Dublin as the Dean knew it. Four of the original six sketches have survived according to Anne Crookshank and The Knight Of Glin - The Watercolours of Ireland - page .312, while Sayer and Bennett's Catalogue of prints for the year 1775 list this set of six for sale at on page 61 priced at one shilling each; beautifully coloured two shillings. According to the catalogue ''Perspective views .... make Genteel Furniture when framed and glazed; likewise are admirably adapted for the Diagonal Mirror or Optical Pillar Machine.''
