About the Item
Engraving of Waterford City and Natural Bridge near Kilkee, 19th Century
This 19th-century engraving presents two striking scenes from Ireland:
1. Waterford City: The upper illustration depicts a bustling view of Waterford, showcasing the city’s waterfront, bridges, and harbor filled with sailing ships and small boats. Prominent architectural landmarks, including church spires and urban buildings, dominate the skyline, with detailed foreground elements such as a cliffside path and figures.
2. Natural Bridge near Kilkee: The lower illustration captures the dramatic coastal landscape near Kilkee, County Clare. The Natural Bridge, an iconic geological formation, is rendered with precision, illustrating its rugged arches against a backdrop of crashing waves and seabirds. Figures on the cliff emphasize the immense scale of the structure, while the turbulent sea highlights its raw natural beauty.
Both scenes are rendered in fine detail, exemplifying 19th-century engraving techniques and an appreciation for Ireland’s urban and natural landscapes.
Artistic and Historical Context:
The dual composition reflects the growing interest in Ireland’s cultural and natural heritage during the Victorian period, as tourism and exploration flourished. Waterford, one of Ireland’s oldest cities, was a hub of trade and maritime activity, while Kilkee’s dramatic coastal scenery attracted artists and travelers alike.
This engraving likely served as an illustrative plate in a travel book or topographical collection, aimed at showcasing Ireland’s charm to an international audience.
Condition Report:
Good condition overall, with crisp engraving details and minimal toning. Minor edge wear consistent with age, suitable for framing or collection.
This piece is ideal for collectors of Irish history, landscapes, or 19th-century engravings.

Antique Engraving of Kirby Hall Near Gretton, Northamptonshire, England c.1770
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique print titled 'Principal Front of Kirby Hall'.
Kirby Hall is an Elizabethan country house, located near Gretton, Northamptonshire, England. The nearest main town is Corby. One of the great Elizabethan houses of England, Kirby Hall was built for Sir Humphrey Stafford of Blatherwick, beginning in 1570. In 1575 the property was purchased by Sir Christopher Hatton of Holdenby,[1] Lord Chancellor to Queen Elizabeth I. It is a leading and early example of the Elizabethan prodigy house. Construction on the building began in 1570, based on the designs in French architectural pattern books and expanded in the Classical style over the course of the following decades. The house is now in a semi-ruined state with many parts roof-less although the Great Hall and state rooms remain intact. The gardens, with their elaborate "cutwork" design, complete with statues and urns, have been recently restored.
Anne of Denmark stayed at Kirby on 9 August 1605 while King James stayed at Rockingham Castle. King James stayed for three days in August 1616. During a royal progress Esmé Stewart, 3rd Duke of Lennox died at Kirby of the "spotted ague" on 30 July 1624.
The building and gardens are owned by the Earl of Winchilsea and are managed by English Heritage.
Kirby Hall has been used as a filming location in many productions. These include the following; an episode (6. Protest and Communication) of Kenneth Clark...

Located in Dallas, TX
Presenting a lovely 19C Aquatint Engraving of the Quay at Waterford in Waterford city in Ireland.
This engraving has been hand embellished with aquatint color(s) and is from Ireland circa 1820-40.
It features a scene of the Quay or Port of Waterford from circa 1820. We are basing this upon the attire of the figures in the engraving and the tall ships.
It features Reginald’s Tower (still located at the Waterford Quay to this day). Georgian Quay buildings, a number of moored tall ships and row boats, barrels, horses and carts, women and British soldiers.
The engraving was professionally reframed and matted in Dallas in the 1980’s and the rear of the frame says that it was “Museum Mounted and Matted”. The frame has a lovely Grecian pattern around the front.
