Flexible leather covers with gilt lettering to front and spine. All edges gilt. Appears very lightly used, if at all. After a thorough explanation of helpful identifying marks, a preface, and a fair calendar, the guide sets off to address what an unfamiliar visitor really might WANT and NEED to know.

Belfast, Ireland: Ulster Historical Foundation, 2007. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good / Very Good Plus. Quarto, 10.75 in. x 8.2 in. pp. xvii, {1], 261. Illustrated throughout with color photographs. Green paper boards with gilt title to spine. Shelfwear to top and bottom of spine. Corners nudged. Illustrated endpapers. Very light edgewear to dustjacket. Protected in mylar. From the dustjacket: "By the late nineteenth century, Belfast had developed into one of the great industrial cities in the Empire. Much of this new-found wealth was based on the manufacture of linen, principally in both the Lagan Valley and the Bann Valley. The River Bann is the longest river in Northern Ireland, flowing for eighty miles from the Mourne Mountains and eventually entering the sea north of Coleraine. The water power of the River Bann was a significant factor leading to the early establishment of the linen industry in the rich farmland around Banbridge and Gilford. Portadown also had a considerable linen industry,… Read More

Dark blue paper boards with gilt title to spine. Very light shelfwear to top and bottom of spine. Illustrated endpapers. Price clipped. Protected in mylar. From the dustjacket: By the late 19th century, Belfast had developed into one of the great industrial cities of the Empire. Much of this new-found wealth was based on the manufacture of linen. The opulent lifestyle that came to be so characteristic of the great linen barons is reflected perhaps best of all in the houses they built. Many travelled from their imposing mansions in the Lagan Valley into the city on the new Great Northern Railway. Others lived in equally resplendent houses near the linen works they had already established on the River Lagan. This book provides an illustrated and informed commentary on the major linen families and the magnificent… Read More
