Engraving of the Castle of Carrigafoyle in County Kerry, Ireland
This historical engraving depicts the Castle of Carrigafoyle, located in County Kerry, Ireland. The castle, built in the late 15th century, served as a stronghold of the O'Connor Kerry family and played a significant role during the Desmond Rebellions. The illustration portrays the castle's prominent location on the Shannon Estuary, surrounded by water, with its defensive walls and tower keep clearly delineated.
The scene is highly detailed, including elements such as cannons being positioned, siege activity, and ships in the estuary, emphasizing its military significance. The engraving includes the title, "The Castle of Carrigafoyle in Kerry," and a descriptive note about the cannon placement and its eventual capture, reflecting its importance during military campaigns.
This piece provides a rare glimpse into 16th-century Irish fortifications and warfare. Measuring approximately [please provide dimensions if known], it showcases fine craftsmanship typical of early cartographic and illustrative works.

Hand-Colored Engraving of the Ceiling of the Church of Santa Costanza in Frame
Located in Pembroke, MA
A large, nicely-framed Italian hand-colored engraving in tones of terracotta and black (17th century, with more recent matte and frame) by Pietro Bartoli. The engraving depicts the mosaic ceiling in the church of Santa Costanza outside of Rome, which was studied by the ecclesiatical archaeologist Giovanni Ciampini. The mosaic ceiling no longer exists, but is known through various depictions of the artwork, such as this engraving. The images include Christian imagery including the sacrifice of Cain and Abel and possibly Noah building the ark. The upper row of mosaics is believed to represent scenes from the New Testament, with caryatids dividing the ceiling into twelve segments. The engraving is captioned in Latin: "Opus Musiuum olim in tholo Templi, quod vulgo creditur Bacchi, nunc Sancte Constantie extra Portam Piam cariatides, et Telamones in duodecium dividant Segmenta, ubi plura autumnales ferias, et piscationis Genium demostrant, iuxta interpretionem Ciampini qui mediatatem exhibet Veterum monum." In the 17th century, the church of Santa Costanza was known as the "Temple of Bacchus," and was the site of rowdy Bacchic festivals until Pope Clement XI banned the rites in 1720. Pietro Santo...
