Description
The subject of the book is the remarkable `pictorial map’ of Galway, which was produced in the mid-seventeenth century.
'Paul Walsh has selected 38 sections of the map, blown them up, and accompanied each with a wonderfully informative explanatory essay, and in doing so has presented us with a remarkable visual tour of the urban landscape of the period and also various coats of arms, allegorical images, and aspects of everyday life. [...] very highly recommended'. https://www.advertiser.ie/galway/article/110522/balls-bridge-1685
'38 chapters, or exciting avenues of extra knowledge, backed up by amazing large illustrations from sections of the map, insert even more life into this amazing piece of urban cartography. The amount of research undertaken by the author is immense'.
