The Queen's Entry into Dublin : Passing through the Old City Gate. 1900.

For Sale is the Front Page removed from "The Graphic, April 14th, 1900," showing a Drawing by H. M. Paget, from a sketch by W. C. Mills, for "The Queen's Entry into Dublin :  Passing through the Old City Gate."

Her Majesty made her entry into Dublin through the old city gates erected at Leeson Street Bridge.  This scene was exquisitely picturesque.  The old castle fortress, a reproduction of one of the famous city towers, erected for the occasion, is in the Elizabethan form of architecture, after the style of Baggotrath Castle, one of the famous strongholds of the Earls Fitzwilliam, who in the days of Cromwell held out against many a bloody siege.  The structure put up consists of two tall towers, flanking a gateway twenty feet wide.  From the parapets above flew the green civic standards with the arms of Dublin, and over the gateway was erected the mast on which the Royal Standard was run up when the Queen drove beneath.

Condition is Very Good.
