If you get a chance would you be able to post some drawings from the Cork area? I know you've got 1001 things to be doing, so there's no rush. I'd appreciate the chance to see what the last 100 years of farming has done.
I will do so at some point. I'm struggling to find a good technique for 'lifting' the images at the moment. It's an extremely rare book and I don't feel like putting it face down it on my scanner and buggering up the spine :-) At the moment I'm photographing the pages and cropping to the images, which is a little time consuming.There are a few Cork sites in there. I haven't really had chance to look through it thoroughly yet, so I don't know everything that's in there. There is one great illustration of a (now lost) tomb from Dublin city centre. It's the most geometric drawing of a monument I've ever seen, with tall cones for uprights/entrance stones and a cuboid for the its gallery. I assume it was a wedge tomb, but we'll never know for sure. The exact location where it stood is sadly lost too.
