One hundred years ago in Ireland marked a time of change. The
continuous rise of an Irish revival, debates over Home Rule and the
idea of Irish identity were continuously negotiated by all classes
of society. In Cork City Reflections, authors Kieran McCarthy and
Daniel Breen focus on the visual changes that have taken place in
the port city on Ireland's south-west coast. Using a collection of
historic postcards from Cork Public Museum and merging these with
modern images they reveal how the town has changed over the
decades. Each of the 180 pictures featured combines a recent colour
view with the matching sepia archive scene. The authors have
grouped the images under thematic headings such as main streets,
public buildings, transport, and industry. Readers will be able to
appreciate how Cork City has evolved and grown over the last
century but also how invaluable postcards can be in understanding
the past. In an age where digital photography and the internet have
made capturing and sharing images so effortless, it is easy to
forget that in the decades before the camera became popular and
affordable, postcards were the only photographic souvenirs
available to ordinary people. This book, which vividly contrasts
Cork past and present, will evoke many memories and appeal to
residents and visitors alike.
