GPO & Nelson's Pillar Dublin — Art Print

The GPO and Nelson's Pillar, Sackville Street — Dublin as it once was.

This fine art print captures Sackville Street (today's O'Connell Street) at its 19th-century peak — a grand Georgian boulevard lined with carriages, figures going about their day, and two of Dublin's most storied landmarks standing side by side.

The building on the left needs no introduction. The General Post Office, completed in 1818, went on to become the command headquarters of the 1916 Easter Rising. Beside it stands Nelson's Pillar — the towering column erected in 1809, demolished in 1966. This print is one of the finest early records of how it looked at the height of its presence.

The artwork was drawn by Samuel Frederick Brocas (c.1792–1847) and engraved by Henry Brocas the Younger (c.1798–1873) — two of the most important recorders of early 19th-century Dublin. It is held in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Ireland.
