Description
|
|
|
|
Shopfronts have a special place in the Irish landscape, and a surprising number of old shopfronts remain in almost their original state even in the large cities and towns, even though age and the strident demands of commerce have reduced their numbers dramatically. The most sophisticated designs feature combinations of decorative ironwork and carved wood, while hand-painted lettering, often of great complexity, is an additional feature. In this classic 1978 study, illustrated with archival photos and detailed line drawings, Sean Rothery looks at the development of Irish shops from converted rural houses to planned city buildings.
