This major monograph focuses on one of Ireland’s leading 19th-century figures, notable as a historian, antiquarian, artist and collector of traditional music, and progenitor of Ireland’s celtic revival and author of The Round Towers of Ireland (1840). His topographical drawings, engravings and watercolours have never before been studied and assessed. Here they are gathered together and beautifully presented in a hard-back book, superbly written by Peter Murray.
