Alex. Thom & Co. (Limited)
First Edition
8vo, p.2273 + p.60
Description:
Published in the year of the Easter Rising in Dublin, it is the standard reference work on Ireland’s government, institutions and people. It combines an official directory covering the departments of government, the law, the medical profession, the universities, the Church, banking and the postal service with a county and borough directory, a street-by-street directory of Dublin and its suburbs with a list of its residents, nobility, gentry, merchants and traders. The volume for 1916 is the directory for the year of the Easter Rising, and, as a record of Dublin streets, businesses and householders in the final years before the Rising and the revolution. James Joyce used Thom’s to set Ulysses in a precisely rendered Dublin. Map of Dublin is absent.
Condition:
Good Condition. Red cloth with debossed device to boards. Colured fore-edge. Binding is firm and contents are clean. Map is absent. Boards have some wear with light bumping to corners, marking to boards and crease along the spine. Tanning to spine.
