Illustrated Guide to the Northern, Western and Southern Islands, and Coast of Ireland (Antiquarian Handbook Series vol VI). Dublin: Hodges Figgis, 1905. Pp xv, 172. Publisher’s blue cloth boards, lettered in gilt. A nice bright copy.

Profusely illustrated with plates & text drawings.

The guide covers a specific geographical sweep of Ireland’s Atlantic coast and islands, including Tory Island (Co. Donegal), Inismurray (Co. Sligo), the Kerry coast and Skellig Michael, etc.

The work originated from a series of sea excursions organised by the Society in the late 1890s. The introductory text notes that these trips were so successful that the accompanying guide books were revised and republished as the Antiquarian Handbook Series
