Dublin: The Story of a City

English

By (author): Peter Harbison Stephen Conlin

Dublin has taken many forms over the last millennium: first a Scandinavian settlement, linked by kinship to Norway; then a medieval town that formed part of a Norman sphere of influence across Western Europe. By the eighteenth century, it was a polite city of the British Empire, before gaining independence and developing into a bustling, modern European capital.

Merging archaeology with art, Stephen Conlins beautifully crafted views recreate Dublins most famous areas and buildings at key times in their development, such as Wood Quay in 1254, Parliament House circa 1760, OConnell Street in 1945, and the Grand Canal Basin today. This wonderful imagery is complemented and enhanced by the vivid text of Peter Harbison, which moves through time to provide an entertaining history of Dublin, its people and its landmarks.

Also available as a signed, limited edition with slipcase and special cover design. ISBN 9781847179227.
