With more than 200 beautiful colour photographs by Trevor Hart, one of Ireland’s leading photographers, and forewords by Desmond FitzGerald, Knight of Glin and President of the Irish Georgian Society, and The Hon Desmond Guinness, Great Irish Houses will take the reader on an extraordinary journey through the centuries that ends with the renaissance of Ireland’s historic homes in a vibrant and modern nation.

Featuring many of these estates and houses for the first time, and allowing a peek inside many well-known fine houses, this illuminating book reveals how, with the help of the Irish Georgian Society and the commitment of their owners, these houses now stand as a fantastic showcase for Irish architecture, design and craftsmanship.
