This is one of the earliest maps of Galway City (circa. 1651) of which there are but two copies now known; one in the Library of Trinity College, Dublin, and the second in the archives of the Hardiman Library at NUI, Galway. The original map is composed of nine separate sheets, and is six feet six inches broad, and four feet six inches high; it is surrounded by a border; four inches deep. The arms of the Fourteen Tribes of Galway are depicted as are those of allied families and the arms of many of the most important personages of the day are to be found in the elaborately decorated margins of the map. This map contains the earliest known reference to the fourteen tribes of Galway. Each Ceramic Print is individually produced ensuring attention to detail and uniqueness - no two are exactly the same. The images are printed and pressed one at a time onto our specially coated ceramic art tile with a printed faux crackle glaze effect. The effect gives a lovely warmth and antique character to the piece. Blueware / Delftware Colour Option You can have the image reproduced as a Blueware (Delftware) tile. This means all the colours are reproduced with a cobalt blue wash. These distinctive tiles in their characteristic blue and white give an added warmth to the product. a real feeling of history and familiarity. Greenware Colour Option Inspired by the 16th Century Delft tiles, our Greenware colour option reproduces the images with an traditional Irish Emerald Green wash. These unique pieces are distinctively Irish and are full of character and interest.
