TheJournal.ie Best Irish Published Book of the Year 2020

Old Ireland in Colour

By John Breslin & Dr Sarah-anne Buckley
Old Ireland in Colour celebrates the rich history of Ireland and the Irish through the colour restoration of stunning images of all walks of Irish life, and the Irish abroad, throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. From the chaos of the Civil War to the simple beauty of the islands, each image has been exquisitely transformed and every page is bursting with life.
