Engraved by J. C. Armytage from Bartlett's drawing, the scene was published in The Scenery and Antiquities of Ireland, part of Bartlett's celebrated survey of Irish ruins and landscapes. Bartlett (English, 1809–1854) was one of the nineteenth century's foremost topographical illustrators, renowned for steel engravings documenting castles, abbeys, and antiquities across Europe, the Near East, and North America.
