Synopsis

"Irish Architectural and Decorative Studies" is the annual journal of the Irish Georgian Society. It is the much-enhanced and dramatically expanded successor to the Bulletin, which was published from 1958 to 1997. The journal reflects the Irish Georgian Society’s present wider remit, which is no longer concerned solely with Georgian architecture, but acknowledges the importance of the entire spectrum of Ireland’s post-medieval architecture and its special need for protection, interpretation, understanding and appreciation. The content of each volume of the journal is wide and varied, testimony to the diversity and scholarship of the series. The essays in vol. 1 are: "Some early seventeenth-century building accounts in Ireland" by Jane Fenlon; "William Halfpenny’s designs for an ‘Early Christian’ cathedral at Waterford" by Terry Friedman; "Castletown, Co Kildare: the contribution of James, 1st Duke of Leinster" by David J. Griffin; "The Irish in London: post-Restoration suburban houses" by Caroline Knight; "The works of Oswald Reeves (1870-1967), artist and craftsman: an interim catalogue" by Paul Larmour; "In search of Bossi" by Conor O’Neill; "A philosophy of restoration: George Edmund Street at Dublin’s Christ Church" by Seán O’Reilly; "Capturing the light: window-glasshouses in Georgian Ireland" by Nessa M. Roche; "The Irish Exhibition at Olympia 1888" by Brendan Rooney; "A database of Irish Architects 1720-1940: C" by Ann Martha Rowan.
