The Library at Trinity College Dublin dates back to the establishment of the college by

Queen Elizabeth I in 1592. The library is the largest in Ireland, containing more than

6.2 million volumes and an extensive collection of early manuscripts, including the

internationally famous Book of Kells, which attracts around 1 million visitors annually

from around the world. A visit to the Book of Kells includes a visit to the Long Room,

the main chamber of the Old Library, and one of the most beautiful and impressive

libraries and architectural spaces in the world.

In this, the first of a new series called Pocket Photo Books, photographer Harry Cory

Wright explores the richness of the architecture and collections of the Long Room,

resulting in a book that brings the reader close to the sense of being there. With a brief

introduction by Trinity's Librarian and College Archivist, Helen Shenton, about her own

experience of the Long Room, this beautifully designed book of exquisite photographs

will appeal to all visitors to Trinity College Dublin, and to anyone keen to explore in

detail one of the most awe-inspiring libraries and architectural spaces in the world.
