About This Image
Georgian Dublin – Custom House Canvas Print by Mark Tisdale.
Many of my memories of Dublin center around the architecture of Georgian Dublin. In particular the grand old neoclassical buildings as seen in this Custom House canvas print stand out. In fact, in the dictionary of architecture, I could picture this building on the River Liffey next to the entry for grand!
It’s something of a wonder that any of Georgian Dublin survives. During the Irish war for independence, government buildings like this were prime targets. The Custom House was burned in May of 1921 but was rebuilt in the years following the conclusion of the war. Meanwhile, after the war, many of the Georgian townhouses and palaces were allowed to lapse into ruin or simply torn down. For years after Irish independence, people who suggested saving buildings in Georgian Dublin were labeled as unionist. Georgian Dublin was seen as synonymous with British rule.
It’s somewhat ironic that since then some of Dublin’s older buildings have in recent years been used for sets in period dramas. For instance various buildings in Georgian Dublin have been used in the Ripper TV series to represent London in the late Victorian era. It would have been both a cultural loss as well as a monetary one to let all traces of old Dublin fall away!
I stayed quite near here while I was visiting Dublin. So for me it’s not just the impressive architecture that speaks to me. Looking at this Custom House canvas print reminds me of mornings walking along the banks of the Liffey. And how clearly I remember the winter sun soaking up the facade of this little corner of Georgian Dublin. I can feel the nip in the air and the sun on my back again. The port has moved further out of the city now that ships are larger and the Custom House no longer serves that function. It now houses the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government. But somehow when I look at this, I still get a feel of old Dublin when this was the heart of the old port city.
Have you also walked along the banks of the Liffey and admired this beautiful old building? Or does this Custom House canvas print speak to you for other reasons? I hope you might take a moment to share your thoughts with me!
Canvas Print – Product Information
Stretched canvas prints are a timeless way to enhance your home or office decor. Whether your style is traditional or modern, canvas art offers a versatile and sophisticated look that complements any space.
Each canvas print is custom-made to order, printed on an acid-free poly/cotton blend canvas using archival inks. This ensures your artwork will last a lifetime, retaining its vibrant colors without fading or losing detail.
When placing your order, you’ll have the option to choose between glossy or matte finishes. The glossy finish adds a subtle sheen, making colors appear more vivid, while the matte finish offers a softer look with reduced glare, making it ideal for brightly lit spaces. Let the natural light in your room guide your choice.
You can also select from three wrap styles for your canvas print:
- Mirrored wrap: The image extends around the sides of the canvas, preserving the integrity of the original artwork. This is the most popular and versatile option.
- Black wrap: A solid black color on the sides of the canvas.
- White wrap: A clean white color on the sides of the canvas.
A preview of each wrap style is available for you to view when selecting your option.
Once printed, your canvas is carefully stretched over a sturdy wooden frame made of 1.5″ x 1.5″ stretcher bars. The entire production process takes 5 to 7 business days. Your canvas print will be shipped in secure packaging with a hanging wire attached and all necessary hardware included, making it a convenient, ready-to-hang artwork.
