Ireland: Then and Now – Victoria Murphy

Ireland has changed almost unimaginably over the past century. In this book Victoria Murphy takes a trip through the Irish landscape and townscape replicating the photographs that were taken for the book Ireland in Pictures published in 1898, marking the centenary of the 1798 rebellion and the massive changes that had swept though Ireland in the century after. Ireland: Then and Now includes pictures from nearly every county in the country from Adare Abbey in Limerick, Blarney Castle in Cork, Clifden Harbor in Galway through to the Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin. The images reflect the massive changes that have happened over the last century. They also show that despite the changes, in many places there is at least some continuity.
