Timeless Colours: Waterford celebrates the rich history of the Déise and its people through the meticulous colourisation of over 100 stunning images.
From architectural gems like the Dromana Gate to the tranquil beauty of the River Suir, each iconic image captures the unique essence of Waterford. Setting out to bring his native county’s history to life, Ian Hannigan has combined artificial intelligence technology with historical research to infuse the past with new energy.
Step back in time to the streets of Waterford in a bygone era, with the imposing Reginald’s Tower standing watch over the hustle and bustle of the quays. From the striking oldest known photo of a survivor of The Great Hunger to Countess Markievicz’s visit to Waterford, the images in this book are of great local and national significance.
Covering the period 1840 – 1960, Timeless Colours: Waterford offers a vivid and evocative glimpse into the daily lives of Waterford’s people during a time of profound transformation.
