"For over one hundred years, Country Life has been publishing regular articles on the country houses of Great Britain and Ireland. From the start, its definitive texts were illustrated with specially commissioned photography by some of the century's pre-eminent architectural photographers, a practice which endowed the magazine with a unique photographic archive. ... Here, Sean O'Reilly, one of Ireland's leading architectural historians, has selected over two hundred of the archive's most outstanding photographs, featuring twenty major houses which range in date from medieval castles to the twentieth-century decorative delights of Birr. His text provides the essential historical background to an appreciation of some of Ireland's greatest buildings, making this book, the latest in Country Life's highly praised series, not only an important survey, but also a portfolio of classic photographs of unrivalled beauty and significance."
