County maps, country houses and the faces of Irish writers, clergy and nationalists share the pages of the Atlas and Cyclopedia of Ireland, published by Murphy & McCarthy in New York in 1905 and associated with P. W. Joyce. The maps provide the geographical framework, while the prints show houses, towns and people. Avondale and Johnstown Castle are among the estates, and portraits of Sheridan, Thomas Davis and James Stephens reach into literature and nationalism, with ecclesiastical portraits covering clergy across the Irish dioceses.
