1796 Stephens Green,  Antique Dublin print by James Malton.
The 27 acre park had originally been public land until 1663 when the City Council closed public access and sold some of the property. This antique print by James Malton from 1796 depicts deer grazing in the park enclosed by trees & hedging, with strollers & onlookers outside the park boundary.   Sir Arthur Guinness, Member of Parliament & founder of the Guinness Brewery, proposed the bill which restored public access to Stephens Green in 1877.
