Rambles through the County of Dublin and some of the neighbouring ones
RIA MS 3 C 32
Description

A companion album to RIA MS 3 C 31, this small postcard-size album of 24 watercolours provides illustrations of scenery and ancient monuments, general views and details of castles and churches in the counties Dublin, Meath, Roscommon and Wicklow. These watercolours are copies of originals (since lost) painted on expeditions undertaken by artist Gabriel Beranger, ca. 1729-1817, including Dublin on various dates in the 1770s, Wicklow in 1773 and Meath in 1775. He copied the originals into this and RIA MS 3 C 31 between ca. 1780-1800.

A ten page index in Beranger's hand is bound to the back of the album. It contains the number, title and description of each watercolour.

The album is bound in cream velvet over paper boards; four embroidered green shamrocks on each corner of front cover; embroidered gold cross with red edging in centre. The initials "G B" are embroidered in gold in the centre of back cover.
