An image of the Colledge Library (sic), taken from Charles Brooking's map of Dublin (1728).

This is an architectural elevation drawing from Charles Brooking's 1728 map of Dublin, showing the College Library (likely Trinity College). The detailed engraving depicts a grand three-story Renaissance or Baroque-style building with symmetrical design, featuring regularly spaced windows with decorative surrounds, rusticated stonework on the ground floor, ornamental balustrades along the roofline, and chimneys at either end. The front shows formal garden or courtyard spaces with geometric patterns.
