For fifty years, architectural historian Maurice Craig carried a
camera nearly everywhere he went. Meticulously catalogued, the
resulting collection of over two thousand photographs was donated
to the Irish Architectural Archive (IAA) in 2001. During his final
year, Craig selected seventy-odd of his favourites, adding comments
in his wry, incisive style. Many photographs here originally
featured in the IAA 2006 exhibition 'Maurice Craig: Fifty Years of
Photographing Ireland'; others appeared as small prints in Ireland
Observed (1980), co-authored with the Knight of Glin. Here, they
are grouped into four categories: buildings that no longer exist;
tableaux of a byone age; curiosities, such as arresting stone
carvings and plaster work, or humourous juxtapositions; and
buildings of enduring architectural interest. With an introduction
by the photographer and an afterword by Rolf Loeber, this book is
part memento mori, part historical document - a tribute not only to
Ireland's buildings and architecture, but also to one of their
greatest champions.
