Old Ireland in Colour brings to life the rich history of Ireland and the Irish through the colour restoration of these stunning images of all walks of Irish life throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
As well as images of famous figures like Markievicz and Michael Collins, Old Ireland in Colour contains an abundance of historical scenes, including the shelling of the Four Courts and a gathering of the Irish Women Workers’ Union at Liberty Hall in 1914.
Other images show occasions that aren’t written about in history books, but capture everyday life in early 20th century Ireland, particularly around Galway and the Aran Islands.
