Looking forward to seeing more of these, great to hear they're now available.

Channel 044 Well, we're up to Laois so far, but that leaves plenty more to come... Have a look at the whole set!
Channel 044 said:
They're fascinating. Really enjoyed going through the whole stream yesterday, a wonderful resource. I posted a small edit of the photos here: shanolyno.tumblr.com/post/35213963117/irelandeditpart1

What's interesting is the quality and resolution of the glass plate in comparison to the presumably 35mm photo from 1990.
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/eyelightfilms] Would imagine it was 35mm alright.
Robin Parkes said:
A good big one beats a good little one every time. Even medium format beats 35mm hands down so you may guess what resolution a 19 x 13cm glass negative has.

What is really interesting as regards the buildings is how many of the large two storey ones are missing from the 1990 shot. Population density had obviously dropped considerably. The number of farms/cottages and more remote buildings is no greater. The Abbey in the foreground was an Augustinian Priory. A neighbour of mine was from Ballinskelligs and her father was a noted Gaelgoir and author who wrote about the area. He published a book about Ballinskelligs just before he died a couple of years back.

It isn't often you get a photo taken 100 years layer that is so close to the original. Excellent shot.
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Swordscookie We are in total accord! When you see them side by side, they really work well...
Robin Parkes said:
I have a similar one taken this year. I was involved in waterproofing the gutters when it was being repaired after a big bomb.
