Published for the first time in trade paperback, "Dorothea Lange's Ireland" showcases some of her finest work--as well as some of her least well-known. Accompanying the photographs are text by Gerry Mullins which describes Lange's motivation to go to Ireland, her travels there, and the subjects of her photographs, and an essay by Lange's son, Daniel Dixon, who traveled with her. 106 photos.

"Most people have never seen [Lange's] Irish photographs....Now we can finally grasp the scope of what she was aiming for--and achieved--in the exquisite 'Dorothea Lange's Ireland'...with...an essay by Daniel Dixon, Lange's son and her assistant on the project. The book includes 99 photos...taken in and around Ennis, which at that time was a town of 7,000. During her monthlong stay she got to know the townspeople personally and photographed...kids on their way to school, people at the open markets, families walking to church, farmers working the land and dairies, groups attending hurling matches."

Regan McMahon, San Francisco Chronicle Book Review, 03/17/1996

"Transplanted Dubliner and San Franciscan Gerry Mullins...found this treasure trove of Dorothea Lange's unknown Irish photographs while researching at the Oakland Museum....Too young to remember this Ireland, Mullins was transfixed by the discovery that 'Life' magazine had only used a few of Lange's photos and even less of her son's text."
