| Notes: | From: Antiquities of Abbeys, Castles & c. & c. in Ireland, Vol. II Inscription on facing page: The figure above the door is that of the Saviour sculptures in relief, partly on the key stone & partly in the stone over it. and [sic] on each side of the architecture there is a human head, also in relief, as in the doorway of Kells Church The copy by Gabriel Beranger of the same subject (preserved as Wat. 13 in the Special Collections in the Library of University College, Dublin) gives the author of the original drawing as Col. Charles Vallancey. This means that Austin Cooper could have been copying a copy of the original Title inscribed in ink l.c. on sheet Watermark u.l. on sheet is too indistinct to make out the lettering Physical description: 1 drawing 18.3 x 26.7 cm.
