This fascinating and unique souvenir folds into a delicate rose, and when unfolded it depicts steel engravings of famous buildings and sights in Dublin, Ireland. The 12 large and 14 small vignettes include Dublin Bay, Kingstown, Nelson's Pillar, the Four Courts, Trinity College, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Castle Yard, and the Custom House, among others. The "Dublin Rose" was part of a series created by Joseph Myers in London, England that represented dozens of European cities, as well as New York, Canada, Montreal (two editions), Havana, and Melbourne. When folded, the rose fits into a small printed envelope with three putti holding an anchor, a caduceus, and a notebook, sitting atop sea monsters, along with the title, "The Dublin Rose." Printed by C. Adler in Hamburg and published by A. H. Myers & Co. in London.
