A country that had gone through wrenching change in the previous 40 years and that would go through much more in the decades to come.
This collection of postcards and pictures date to that time and show how, despite the distance in time, it is remarkably like our own.
What is remarkable is how so little has changed; pictures of the cities are instantly recognisable while the popular tourist sites of the 1890's - The Cliffs of Moher, The Giants Causeway and more - remain popular today.
A Unique Collection of Photochrom Pictures The photographs in this stunning book were produced as tourist mementos and postcards using a technique called Photochrom. This specialised technique was used since colour photography was so expensive. It provides a unique and instantly recognisable style.
The collection features the main cities of Dublin, Belfast, Cork and Waterford alongside the main tourist attractions of the day.
Instagram Some of these pictures were previously posted to our very popular Instagram account (@irelandcalling1) where they were amongst our most most popular postings. Seeing how they were received gave rise to this collection and book.
Pictures To The Fore Each picture in this collection gets its own page, allowing the beauty and evocative nature of the photograph to shine.
The Cliffs of Moher, The Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin, Patrick Street in Cork. Each of these locations and the dozens more come to life in a unique collection that will be treasured by anyone who has visited (or dreams of visiting) Ireland.
