The Provost's House, Trinity College Dublin – John Lodge Engraving Print

The Provost's House, Trinity College, Dublin, a line engraving by John Lodge after Robert Pool and John Cash, about 1794.

A tall pedimented centre block stands between two low wings, every window, rusticated arch and chimney set down in fine engraved line. The Provost's House on Grafton Street was finished in 1759 and is still the home of the Provost of Trinity College — one of the few great Georgian houses in Dublin used as it was built to be. It was engraved for Zachariah Jackson's Dublin edition of Payne's New System of Universal Geography, published in the 1790s, and the lettering below the plate says so. 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.
