Enniscorthy 2010
Fine-art print by Peter Pearson for sale
Enniscorthy 2010, a fine-art print by artist Peter Pearson, was launched in Enniscorthy public library in late July. The print is a memento of this year’s 1500 celebrations. Only 250 signed copies are available for sale from Enniscorthy Library, Wexford Library and from Enniscorthy Town Council’s offices in Market Square. The price is €65.00 to individuals and €100 to institutions.
This print was commissioned principally as an illustration for the History of Enniscorthy book that has been edited by Colm Toibin and that will be launched later this year. It has been offered to the book designers as a possible end-paper inside of the cover and to act as a visual link to the text.
However the print makes a beautiful memento of our 1500 celebrations and of the town today. It’s a lovely present for a family member or a friend. Since each print is signed and numbered and each print is authenticated with a certificate, it can be expected to become more valuable as a piece of art as well as a heritage object, as time passes.
