The Co. Kildare Decade of Commemorations Committee and the Kildare Readers Festival 2021 are delighted to present an online event
Old Ireland in Colour
Join the authors, John Breslin and Sarah-Anne Buckley, on 16 October at 5.00pm. Free event. Please book at https://krf2021oldirelandincolour.eventbrite.ie
In Old Ireland in Colour 2, the much-anticipated sequel to their beloved bestseller, John Breslin and Sarah-Anne Buckley have delved even deeper into Ireland’s historical archives to uncover captivating photographic gems to bring to life using their unique blend of cutting-edge technology, historical research and expert colourisation.
Old Ireland in Colour 2 celebrates more of the rich history of Ireland and the Irish from all walks of life, and sees all thirty-two counties represented. With over 150 superb images, once again accompanied by insightful captions, the book is the perfect encapsulation of life in Ireland throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
From the chaos of the revolutionary period to the simple beauty of the islands, from the iconic to the domestic, there is something new and inspiring to be gleaned from every single page.
This event is supported by Kildare Decade of Commemorations Committee, Irish Academic Press and the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media under the Decade of Centenaries 2012-2023 initiative.
