"Like Robert Doisneau's Paris, Bill Doyle's Dublin is a defined milieu. In these photographs that span half a century, from the 50s to 90s, Doyle gives us a composite view of a city and its inhabitants, capturing the spirit of a time and place, a pre-boom Dublin still haunted by the ghosts of history. From the narrow alleyways and back streets of the north inner city to the leafy environs of the south side, these beautiful, dramatic pict ..."

For centuries the place has held an almost hypnotic attraction for poets and painters, and in spite of its problems has drawn emigrant Irish back from the other side of the world. This spectacular survey of Ireland north and south conveys that beauty, and much of the country's atmosphe ..."
