Ordnance Survey map of Dublin, sheet 13, showing parts of St. Michan’s, St. Paul’s, Grangegorman, St. Audeon’s parishes and parts of Arran Quay, Inns Quay and Usher’s Quay. The map shows the ‘Capuchin Franciscan, RC Chapel’ on Church Street (constructed in 1796), the Bow Street Distillery, and the area surrounding Smithfield Market.

Over-sized storage. The maps are badly torn and frayed at edges. Staining is also evident, and the maps require extensive cleaning.

The 5-foot (60 inches to the mile) maps of Dublin City were first published in 1847 by the Ordnance Survey and were the product of a detailed survey undertaken by Thomas A. Larcom (1801-1879). The maps were revised by Captain Martin in 1864 and these revisions were engraved in 1866 under the direction of Captain Wilkinson. The file contains one copy of the 1847 edition of sheet 13 and two copies of the 1866 edition of the same sheet.
