Irish Donkeys - Jigsaw Puzzle
Prix régulier €14.99Beautiful 500 piece high quality jigsaw puzzle featuring Irish Donkeys and a dry stone wall.
Produced on linen paper and blue puzzle cardboard
Size 48.5 x 34.5cm
Irish Donkeys
Traditionally in Ireland donkeys were used to carry turf from the bogs and loose stone to clear fields. The stone was then used to construct dry stone walls to mark out the boundaries of farms and small holdings.
Donkeys are a much loved animal in Ireland and even when they became of less use on the land due to mechanisation, they held their place in Irish hearts and are often kept as charming pets on farms.

Dublin City - Jigsaw Puzzle
Prix régulier €14.99Beautiful 500 piece high quality jigsaw puzzle featuring the Ha'penny Bridge and river Liffey, Dublin City, Ireland.
Produced on linen paper and blue puzzle cardboard

Dublin City
Dublin, like most great cities, did not grow overnight. Founded by the Vikings over a thousand years ago, it has evolved through the Middle Ages and Georgian Era to become one of the friendliest and most fashionable capitals in Europe.
The name Dublin derives from the two Irish words Dubh (black) and Lynn (pool). The Black Pool was a small tidal pool formed where the River Poddle entered the River Liffey. The official Irish name for the city is Baile Atha Cliath, or the “Town of the Hurdled Ford”. This refers to an ancient ford across the River Liffey, which was situated near the modern Father Mathew Bridge.

A4 wall calendar featuring the Islands of Ireland.

This calendar features a new location map which shows the locations where the photographs were taken and the calendarium also shows the phases of the moon.
Slim Book of Kells Calendar 2024
Prix régulier €5.99This calendar has been produced utilising a fine art printing process which renders the images in a much higher resolution more akin to a photographic print. There is information about the Book of Kells on each page.
The book of Kells dates from c.800 A.D. and contains the four Gospels in Latin.
Now measuring 33 x 25.5 cm having been trimmed and rebound in the 19th century. It is written on vellum and the Gospel texts are prefaced with Canon Tables and characterisations of the Evangelists.
What makes the Book of Kells unique are the lavish illustrations intertwined with the text with the intention of glorifying God's creations. THEIR are many full pages containing decorations and symbols such as for the Cannon Tables.
The book was illustrated by what appears to have been four artists whose work has been likened to that of goldsmiths. A number of pigments were used including arsenic sulphate for yellow, red lead or an unidentified organic matter for red and blue was created from indigo or woad.
The Book of Kells was probably used for special ceremonial occasions rather than for daily services. This conclusion has been reached as the transcription of the text was sumptuous but also rather careless with some entire words having been omitted. In other sections texts have been repeated and subsequently painted over to hide the error.
Now bound into four volumes two of which are usually on view in the Old Library at Trinity College Dublin (one showing a decorated page and the other text), the Book of Kells attracts in excess of 800,000 visitors a year.
