Lantern slide of an interior in Newman House, Co. Dublin. Originally catalogued with labels "No 85 Stephen's Green. Saloon. Minerva. 1740" and "D3XI" and "59" and "C. D. Curran." Depicts a close-up view of the saloon ceiling's stucco work. The stucco work depicts Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom, holding a spear with an unidentified figure beside her. Rococo style borders and decorations, including garlands, foliage, and cherubs, surround the piece.
