EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from 1856, the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, clad in formal attire, lays the foundation stone of the New Museum in Dublin. The ceremony took place on the lush lawn of the Royal Dublin Society's premises in Merrion-square, an area steeped in Ireland's rich history. The Lord-Lieutenant expressed his hope that the building, which would become a part of the National Museum of Ireland, would "furnish ever-increasing accommodation for the pursuits of useful knowledge and humanising accomplishments." He continued, "may it open for the coming generations worthy temples of science, art, and learning, at whose shrine they may be taught how most to reverence their Creator, and how best to benefit their fellow-creatures." The proposed museum, designed by architect Frederick V. Clarendon, was to be an impressive structure, with dimensions of 225 feet in length, 45 feet in breadth, and 55 feet in height. The building was to be ornamentally faced with cut stone, a testament to the grandeur and significance of the project. The Illustrated London News reported on the event, capturing the excitement and anticipation surrounding the construction of this new cultural institution in Dublin. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the power of knowledge and learning to bring people together and enrich their lives.
