Lost Ireland: 1860-1960 presents a panoramic sweep of Ireland's forgotten built heritage. From war and insurrection, to prosperity and development, the changes wrought by history have meant that a whole swathe of our build past no longer survives, save through the magic of the camera lens. Drawing on a variety of photographic archives, this book offers, in broad strokes, a wide samples of what was lost to these changes: the humble mud huts of the transient labourer, and the 'thatched mansions' of the prosperous farmer; the edifices of industrial innovation and technology and the grand homes of the well-to-do. Lost Ireland reveals a layer of Irish history which is both fascinating and nostalgic.
