Description
Ballyhara Castle - Ireland
This engraving was published in "The Antiquities of Ireland", by Francis Grose. Francis Grose (1731–1791) was an antiquary and lexicographer, of Swiss extraction. He published Antiquities of England and Wales (1773–87), which was well received, and thereafter, in 1789, set out on an antiquarian tour through Scotland, the fruit of which was Antiquity of Scotland (1789–91). He afterwards undertook a similar expedition to Ireland, but died suddenly at Dublin. His nephew Daniel and a Dr. Edward Ledwich, who had already published a book on Irish antiquities, completed the work shortly afterwards.
