College Green, Dublin City, Co. Dublin, Ireland

Trinity College

Parliament House

Lantern slide of a drawing of College Green, Dublin. It is not originally ladeled and is just titled "College Green. In the drawing you can see Trinity College background the former House of Parliament to the side. Also present in the illustration is the statue of William of Orange that was created by Grinling Gibbons. There appears to be some sort of large procession taking place. The streets are lined with people and there are numerous amounts of soldiers present, both on foot and horse back. There are also canons which have been fired. It is possible that this scene marks the visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Ireland in 1885, but it is unclear.
