This is a linotype illustration depicting the iconic Quadrangle at the National University of Ireland Galway (NUI Galway; Irish: OÉ Gaillimh) is located in the city of Galway in Ireland. The Quadrangle first opened its doors on 30th October 1849 and the University was then known as Queen's College. In 1908, it was changed to University College Galway, or UCG for short; and in 1997, it was changed again to National University of Ireland Galway, or NUI Galway for short. The Quadrangle building, built in local limestone in a Tudor Gothic architectural style, is modelled on Christ Church at the University of Oxford. The 'Quad' has been a fond landmark for over 90,000 alumni in 107 countries in its 170 plus years. The Quote on the bottom of the illustration is a quote about the importance of Education from John F Kennedy - the 35th president of the United States (he visited Galway in 1963). “The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth.” Each Ceramic Print is individually produced ensuring attention to detail and uniquness - no two are exactly the same.
