About this title

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. 16 are: “Thomas Wright and Viscount Limerick at Tollymore Park, county Down” by Eileen Harris; “Accommodating the ‘graces of sculpture’: drawings by Giovanni Battista Cipriani for the attic statuary of the Casino at Marino” by William Laffan and Kevin V. Mulligan; “Private theatricals in Irish houses, 1730-1815” by Patricia McCarthy; “More light on George Sharp (1802–1877)” by Philip MacEvansoneya; “The churches of Fredrick Darley Junior: identification and attribution” by Colm O’Brien; “Reconstructions of the Gothic past: the lost cathedral of Waterford” by Roger Stalley.
