Monuments in the Past: Photographs 1860 - 1936

Ireland: Duchas The Heritage Service, 2002. Soft cover. Very Good. Revised edition. Wraps show a bit of scuffing. A one centimeter section of the bottom edge on the back cover has a sliver of bubbling to the surface laminate. Interior is immaculate. Every year many thousands of people visit the monuments of Ireland. Many of the photographs in this book show these just as they looked in the late 19th and early 20th century, often in a poor state of preservation. Nevertheless these photographs are the earliest objective visual record of these monuments. Photographs feature cathedrals, castles, abbeys, friaries, rocks, tombs, monasteries, city walls, stones, round towers, dolmen, churches, cairns, priories, crosses, and doorways. They are located all across Ireland, in County Antrim, Armagh, Carlow, Clare, Cork, Donegal, Down, Dublin, Galway, Kerry, Kildare, Kilkenny, Limerick, Louth, Mayo, Meath, Offaly, Roscommon, Sligo, Tipperary, Waterford, Westmeath, Wexford, and Wicklow. 21 x 21 cm. xii, 89 pages. Includes an index of the photographs.
