Photograph of an exterior view of the Rotunda and Lying-In Hospital, now known as the Rotunda Hospital, Dublin. There is a horse and cart parked in front of the hospital, in the middle ground.
The Lying-In Hospital was founded in 1745 and was a maternity hospital. 'Lying-in' refers to the confinement of new-mothers following labour. The hospital was renamed the Rotunda Hospital in reference to its notable architecture.
