Newman House, St. Stephen's Green, Co. Dublin, Ireland

Plaster work

Stucco

Lantern slide of an interior in Newman House, Co. Dublin. Originally catalogued with labels "85 Stephen's Green. Wealth & Commerce 1740" and "D3XI" and "49." Depicts a close-up view of an interior ceiling in No. 85, Newman House. The stucco design shows the personifications of Wealth and Commerce sitting on a cloud, surrounded by rococo style flora and garlands. Commerce is depicted holding an anchor, which are often seen in artistic representations of commerce, with Wealth beside her. Depictions of allegorical figures are typical of Georgian design and seen in numerous other landmarks such as the Dublin Custom House. Newman House was the original location of the Catholic University of Ireland, and was named for Dr. John Henry Newman who was rector of the university. The University was founded in 1854 and was the precursor of University College Dublin.
