Lost Ireland Hardcover – February 2, 2021 by Orla Fitzpatrick

Description

A photographic history of the vanishing face of IrelandThe latest in this series takes a look at the most cherished sites of the country that time, progress, and fashion have swept aside. Since the dawn of photography in the mid-19th century, the face and economy of Ireland has changed dramatically, from a rural farming community to a rising industrial and tech-savvy Celtic Tiger. It has also shaken off British rule and found itself embroiled in a bloody civil war. Featuring some of the most famous sites from across the 32 counties of Ireland (including locations used in Game of Thrones), this collection of photos shows the buildings, institutions, and infrastructure that have been lost along the way.
