This is a very special and rare book, and a comprehensive "who's who" of Dublin's commercial landscape during the late Victorian era.
The Industries of Dublin: Historical, Statistical, Biographical. Account of the Leading Business Men, Commercial Interests, Wealth and Growth
is a landmark commercial directory published in 1887.
Profusely illustrated with fine drawings of Dublin's streetscape, it lists all the establishments of the time including some notable ones, like
Brown Thomas, Bewley’s (Grafton Street), Arnott & Co. (Henry Street), The Irish House (Wood Quay), John Power & Son, Distillers.
A real gem and of great interest to historians and collectors!
