The Friends purchased at auction, and donated to the Waterford Museum of Treasures, a hand coloured engraving of the Port of Waterford, 1835. This large and attractive work with its cartouche of the Hook Head lighthouse is now displayed in the Bishop’s Palace (1743) and forms part of the museum’s display of maritime charts showing the development of the port over centuries, starting with Sebastian Munster’s 1550 map of Ireland – in which the only place on the island that is identified is Waterford.
