Ireland of one hundred years ago

the long version

"Ireland of One Hundred Years Ago uses the evocative work of early photographers and carefully chosen quotations from the writing of the day to illustrate the country and its people during a period of rapid and dramatic change. The book gives a memorable insight into the attitudes, opinions and habits of the Irish at the beginning of the twentieth century, and brings their ordinary concerns and activities vividly back to life"--Book jacket.
