- Curator Comment:
- The illustrations created by Barton closely relate to the descriptive text by Frances A. Gerard.
- Note on artwork:
- Though reproduced in black white, the textural qualities of Barton's watercolour technique are clearly visible. Built in 1701, Marsh’s Library was the first public library in Ireland. The painting above the door is of the founder of the library, Archbishop Narcissus Marsh (1638-1713).
