Description

Lantern slide of an interior in Newman House, Co. Dublin. Originally catalogued with labels "No 85 Stephen's Green. Saloon. Justice 1740" and "D3XI" and "50." Depicts a close-up view of an interior ceiling in No. 85, Newman House. The stucco design shows the personification of Justice. Justice is depicted in typical fashion holding a sword, representing punishment, with a cherub behind her holding a set of scales and a crown. Another unidentified figure is shown fleeing from Justice, and both are surrounded by rococo style garlands, flora, and cherubs. 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.
