Footnotes

The artist of the present painting, probably working circa 1860-70, took inspiration from William Bartlett's engraving 'Dublin Bay from Kingstown Quarries' published in 'Scenery and Antiquities of Ireland' c.1941. Dublin Bay is seen from the panoramic viewpoint of Killiney Hill, with Howth in the distance and Dún Laoghaire on the near side of the bay. Quarrying on Dalkey Hill, in the foreground, provided the granite needed to build the harbour pier in Dún Laoghaire and the Great South Wall extending from the tip of the Poolbeg peninsula to the lighthouse visible in the middle of the bay.
