Dublin, Portrait of a City

Dublin, Portrait of a City

by JosephMcArdle (Author), PeterZoeller (Author)

Synopsis

Dublin is one of the most historic and exciting cities in Europe. Beautifully situated on the semi-circle of Dublin Bay with mountains in the background, it has successively been a Viking trading centre, a Norman city, the centre of English royal power in Ireland, a Georgian showpiece, a Victorian commercial centre, and now is the capital of an independent member state of the European Union. Award-winning photographer Peter Zoeller captures all of this diversity, richness and beauty in a series of stunnning photographs, in both colour and black and white, reflecting the social and historical traditions of the city. This beautiful portfolio of Zoller's work is complemented by Joseph McArdle's subtle and witty text, making it a perfect gift book to keep and treasure for Dubliner and visitor alike.
