DVBLINE
Engraving: by Hondius,
in John Speed's
Theatre of the Empire
of Great Britane, 1611-1612
The locus of this group's work is Dublin - or DVBLINE as some liked to call it in John Speed's time. The primary structure shown in this engraving of our city has been remained conceptually intact since its inception...a malleable network of concentric rings and radial struts cut through by the river Liffey.
