Description
This quaint map of Ireland was proudly published in Dublin by Thomas Mullins, Ltd, probably around 1970-1975. The four provinces of the Emerald Isle (partially English creations) are omitted in favor of the historical 32 counties. Traditional Irish last names densely fill in most of the remaining space, allegedly approximating to their place of origin.
A fun (or depressing) exercise for the millions of descendants living around the world as a result of the Irish diaspora. Up to two million native Irish left the island during the worst years of the famine (1845 – 1855); just one decade across centuries of emigration.
