Maps are indispensable tools for navigating our surroundings, but they also possess the remarkable ability to convey stories and serve as vast repositories of information. Until the twentieth century and the advent of aerial images, maps were the primary means of gaining a sense of a city's physical appearance on the ground.
Through a meticulously curated selection of maps, this book intricately traces the growth and evolution of Dublin from the early seventeenth century to the present day, providing a captivating glimpse into the city's transformation over time. While the maps recount significant events such as the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, the Easter Rising in 1916, and the Civil War in 1922, they also unveil the lesser-known tales, including the establishment of a colony of Irish speakers in the late 1920s and the introduction of parking meters, which significantly impacted how people could navigate and utilize the city center.
In addition to the maps that offer insightful details about the city's renowned buildings, transportation systems, health, trade, lifestyle, and workforce, this book presents a captivating portrait of Dublin across centuries, offering fresh perspectives on one of Europe's most remarkable cities.
