Queen's, Essex and Carlisle Bridges, Dublin – John Lodge Engraving Print

Queen's Bridge, Essex Bridge and Carlisle Bridge, Dublin, a line engraving by John Lodge after Robert Pool and John Cash, about 1794.

Three Liffey bridges are stacked one above the other, each drawn flat-on with its arches, balustrades and lamp posts. Queen's Bridge of 1768 still stands as Mellows Bridge, the oldest bridge across the Liffey in the city; Essex Bridge was rebuilt as Grattan Bridge, and Gandon's Carlisle Bridge became O'Connell Bridge. It was engraved for Zachariah Jackson's Dublin edition of Payne's New System of Universal Geography, published in the 1790s, and lettered with the publisher’s name. This work is in the collection of the National Gallery of Ireland.

About the Artist

John Lodge (died 1796) was an engraver who worked in Dublin and London. Many of his plates were made after drawings by the architects Robert Pool and John Cash, whose Views of the Most Remarkable Public Buildings, Monuments and Other Edifices in the City of Dublin, published in 1780, was an early illustrated survey of the Georgian city.
