| Summary: | A depiction of the visit of George IV to Dublin on August 17 1821 - he is cheered on by the crowds in the street and leaning out of windows of buildings at Great Britain Street and the junction of Cavendish Row and Sackville St. [now now O'Connell Street]. George IV is shown being personally greeted by the aldermen of Dublin city. A specially erected triumphal arch bearing the royal coat of arms with the words "Cead Mille Faltach" underneath it stands at the entrance to what was then the gardens of Rutland Square [named after Charles Manners, fourth Duke of Rutland and Lord Lieutenant 1784-87, who died while in office - this is now the northern side of Parnell Square, where the Garden of Remembrance is located]. |
