The West Front of Leinster House, Dublin – John Lodge Engraving Print

The West Front of Leinster House, Kildare Street, Dublin, a line engraving by John Lodge after Robert Pool and John Cash, about 1794.

Three storeys of windows rise over a rusticated ground floor, with four tall columns and a pediment marking the centre. Richard Cassels built Leinster House for the Earl of Kildare in the 1740s; since 1922 it has been the seat of the Oireachtas, the Irish parliament. It was engraved for Zachariah Jackson's Dublin edition of Payne's New System of Universal Geography, published in the 1790s, and the lettering below the plate says so. This work is in the collection of the National Gallery of Ireland.

About the Artist

John Lodge (died 1796) was an engraver who worked in Dublin and London. Many of his plates were made after drawings by the architects Robert Pool and John Cash, whose Views of the Most Remarkable Public Buildings, Monuments and Other Edifices in the City of Dublin, published in 1780, was an early illustrated survey of the Georgian city.
