This book is a visual celebration of old and new Dublin. Leading photographer Paul Barker shows us the graceful streets, squares and monuments of Georgian Dublin, now restored to their former elegance. He takes us to Dublin Castle and Trinity College, to the Abbey and Gate theatres, the Leopardstown Races and the Dublin Horse Show - and, of course to the pubs that have been at the centre of Dublin's social life for centuries, and remain so today. He reveals also the confident and affluent modern Dublin, including the rejuvenated neighbourhood of Temple Bar on the south bank of the Liffey (Dublin's 'left bank') with its art galleries, bars, restaurants, clubs and shops.
