Download or read book Derry in Old Photographs written by Art Byrne and published by Gill & MacMillan. This book was released on 2003 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of photographs is a chronicle of social life in Derry from 1890s to the modern day. The main emphasis is on the period 1940 to 1980. The book recalls the town's commercial, sporting and artistic life with nostalgia and affection. The famous walled plantation town occupies the site of a sixth-century Columban monastery. A town grew up around the monastery and by the 13th century Derry was a diocesan centre. But its modern history dates from the 17th century. Its history echoes that of Ulster in general. The Protestant plantation town withstood the famous Jacobite siege of 1689 - thereafter it stood as a symbol of Protestant defiance while gradually attracting a Catholic population to areas outside the walls like the Bogside. history - that which tended to unite rather than divide - is less often celebrated. That is what this book does, in pictures. The earliest image dates from 1872, but most of the material covers the years from the 1930s to the 1960s. These glimpses of the city's past and of the people who made it embrace commercical life, sport, music (for which the city is justly famous) and the other aspects of the ordinary daily round. It also records the dreadful poverty of old, as well as the embittered politics. Art Byrne and Sean McMahon have assembled a wide selection of images, all of them drawn from private sources and most of them never seen before in print.

Book excerpt: More than any other town in New Hampshire, Derry has changed dramatically over the last thirty years. Gone are the fields, the forests, and the fine old homes, and in their place stand malls, modern housing developments, and multi-lane highways. It is difficult now to imagine the scene in 1719 when a small group of Scottish pioneers laid claim to the New Hampshire wilderness, building a meetinghouse close to a young oak tree. The town of Derry grew up around this site, and for nearly ten generations the oak stood as a respected presence within the community, symbolizing Derry's strength of purpose and proud traditions.

Download or read book In the Shadow of the Raj written by Derry Moore and published by Prestel Publishing. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Derry Moore captures the India's unique visual identity from its Ancient and Medieval temples, through the Mughal period, up to the architecture of the European colonial era. In so doing, he captures the essence of India at a time before the homogenizing tide of globalization swept the country. Moore's architectural photographs of richly decorated temples, imposing colonnades, intricate multifoil arches, and formal gardens reflect the interaction between British and Indian styles. Featuring black-and-white photographs of the grand palaces and lavish, marble ballrooms that embody India's past, this book also explores Moore's portraits of cultural icons, high society women, as well as some of the servants and staff who form a continued, yet fading, presence within the architectural spaces. This comprehensive book will appeal to anyone who has a love of India, and the often breathtakingly beautiful, and timeless aesthetics of India's past, which can only be seen in the shadow of its present."--
