Description
A Nation Is Born: Ireland in Colour, 1923-1938 brings to life a pivotal period in Irish history through meticulously hand-coloured photographs. Historian Michael B. Barry provides insightful commentary, complementing over 150 images gathered from archives around the country. The book explores the emergence of Ireland as a fledgling nation, marked by significant events such as government elections, infrastructure projects like the Shannon hydroelectric scheme, and cultural gatherings like the Eucharistic Congress. These photographs, infused with energy through John O'Byrne's painstaking hand-colouring, offer a fresh perspective on this often-overlooked time. Through its unique blend of historical context and visually striking images, A Nation Is Born sheds new light on Ireland's formative years, providing a compellingly real account of the country's journey towards independence.
