Strickland, Walter, A Dictionary of Irish Artists, Vol 2, L to Z, Dublin and London: Maunsel & Company, 1913

A Dictionary of Irish Artists by Walter G. Strickland (1851-1928) was published into two volumes in 1913. The labouriously researched work draws from extensive and widely varied sources. Strickland sought to produce the dictionary to remedy the neglect of the subject of Irish art and to recover the memory of Irish artists who had disappeared into obscurity. Each entry includes important biographical information and details of their work. Portraits and examples of Irish art are also included with the text illustrated on hundreds of plates.
