EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning watercolour plan titled "View of Limerick, c. 1750" by Samuel Hobson, an esteemed artist from the 18th century. The artwork is part of a private collection and offers a unique perspective on the city of Limerick during that era. The image depicts a picturesque view of Limerick, with its charming streets and architectural landmarks beautifully captured in vibrant watercolours. It is believed to have been published around 1750 as part of the translated French edition of "Journal of the war in Ireland during 1689,1690, and 1691". The viewer is transported back in time to witness the bustling European cityscape at this particular period. The elevated viewpoint allows us to appreciate the natural spaces surrounding Limerick while also highlighting its urban development. Notably absent from this scene are any human figures, giving rise to a sense of solitude and tranquility. This absence adds depth to our understanding of historical contexts and invites contemplation about how life might have unfolded within these walls centuries ago. The intricate lettering accompanying the watercolour plans further enhances their historical significance, providing valuable insights into geographical details or other relevant information about Limerick's past. Overall, this remarkable piece serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable historical document that sheds light on Ireland's rich heritage during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries.
