This book provides sketch histories of a wide selection of important old Dublin businesses and institutions, many no longer trading or operating, although quite a number are still in existence today. Old letterheads and advertisements provide further information about the companies, especially those with good graphic design or sketches of the premises or products. The book therefore provides a rare insight into old Dublin, when the city was compact and bustling, yet human in scale.
