Own a rare piece of Irish history with this original authentic 1750 copperplate engraving by the renowned French Royal Hydrographer Jacques-Nicolas Bellin. Published in Paris for Le Petit Atlas Maritime, this first-edition impression captures Dublin at the height of its Georgian golden age — a city of sweeping squares, elegant quays, and civic ambition rivaling any European capital.

Bellin's meticulous draftsmanship is evident throughout: the finely engraved street plan delineates the winding Liffey, the historic walled city, and the rapidly expanding Georgian suburbs beyond. The elegant cartouche and delicate original hand-colouring make this a work of art as much as a document of history. First-edition Bellin impressions are increasingly sought after by collectors of Irish topography.

A prestigious gift or statement piece for anyone with a connection to Dublin or an appreciation for the golden age of French cartography. Presented in excellent antique condition.Certificate of Authentication provided.
