Updated.
The second edition of the wildly popular This Is Dublin map by the crack designers at Workhouse.
PLUS a spanking all-colour edition.
Richard at Workhouse, writes:
As we were still getting requests for the original almost 2 years after they sold out we decided to make a second edition. This edition employs the same lovely quality of the original but with several new tiles and printed in A2 rather than the larger A1 size.
For those who prefer their Dublin homages to have more colour we have also created a new colour version. The new versions (along with all our other Dublin posters) is available from our website dublinposter.com, direct from our office on Dame Street D2 or from the lovely people at Designist on South Gt. Georges St.
We have one of each to giveaway to two Broadsheet readers who can tell us what Dublin icons deserve to be in the third edition?

Presume that’s the Smithfield Horse Fair top right beside Ronnie Drew? Replace that pic with the pic of the horse riding the Guard for the laugh. Twould sell them like hotcakes (no disrespect to the boys in blue, sure they’d be mad to get their hands on them too). Reference for graphic representations (https://www.broadsheet.ie/2012/04/02/meanwhile-at-the-smithfield-horse-fair/)
Speaking of hotcakes, put in the Paris Bakery ex Moore Street.

Is that not Bang Bang’s key beside where is says ‘U2’?
so it is, completely missed it. Thanks H
a pair of dubes would look well just under southside.
I never noticed it before but Dublin looks quite like France sat on top of a backwards England. Good job Dublin. Vive les bleus.

Original concept by Draplin
But feel free to accuse people of stealing ideas if it makes you happy.

I think you have to get The Barge in Portobello in there somewhere, along with ‘a hint of a canal’. And the US embassy has become weirdly iconic to Dubliners over the years, and instantly recognisable.
I think we’re from different Dublins.

YES – the Onion Tower! Used to love looking at that when a nipper. I would dream that more towers would be built resembling other vegetables…Carrot Tower, Parsnip Tower, Leek Tower…
