Description

Following the massive global success of their first volume, John Breslin and Sarah-Anne Buckley return with Old Ireland in Colour 2, published by Merrion Press. This stunning hardback breathes vibrant, full-color life into over 150 rare, archival photographs, transforming the way we view the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in Ireland.

By combining advanced artificial intelligence colorization with meticulous academic research into period clothing, hair colors, eye shades, and landscapes, the authors have bridged the gap between past and present. This second volume expands its scope to feature every county on the island, highlighting ordinary people at work, the dramatic years of the revolutionary era, childhood memories, traditional rural trades, and early sporting triumphs. Each photograph is accompanied by an informative, beautifully written caption that provides essential historical context.
