The Hill of Howth, 1858. Creator: Unknown
The Hill of Howth, 1858. The Bay of Dublin is bounded on the north by the lofty peninsula of Howth, terminating in Bailie Point, whose lighthouse, with its splendid fixed light, forms a landmark of the highest utility to mariners...Howth is a town of entirely recent growth, and owes its prosperity to the magnificent harbour constructed in the time of George IV...The fixed light in the harbour was erected in 1818, is forty-three feet high, and is visible to ships at a distance of eleven miles. The splendid pharos on Bailie Point was erected five years earlier, is 114 feet in height...is visible fifteen miles at sea...From the Hill of Howth a splendid panorama is unfolded to the curious eye. The beautiful Bay of Dublin...the harbour of Howth, its piers stretching out like giant arms; the tall columnar lighthouse on the point; the shifting waters of St. George's Sea...while the blue peaks of the Wicklow mountains form a splendid background to the picture...Almost in the centre of the bay, looking very pleasant and picturesque in its garb of "greenery, " reposes the small island of Ireland's Eye'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

In this stunning 1858 photograph from the Illustrated London News, the Hill of Howth is depicted as a picturesque and prosperous town, surrounded by the magnificent harbor constructed during the time of George IV. The photograph reveals the Bay of Dublin, with its shimmering waters and the looming presence of Howth's harbor. The harbor's piers stretch out like giant arms, reaching towards the open sea, while the tall columnar lighthouse on Bailie Point stands proudly on the point, its splendid pharos visible for fifteen miles at sea. The Hill of Howth offers a breathtaking panorama, with the beautiful Bay of Dublin spread out before the curious eye. The shifting waters of St. George's Sea reflect the changing moods of the weather, while the blue peaks of the Wicklow mountains provide a stunning backdrop to the scene. Almost in the center of the bay, the small island of Ireland's Eye rests peacefully, its verdant greenery a welcome contrast to the blue waters and gray rocks.
