Portée et contenu
Small leather-bound volume of maps of the estate of the Earl of Listowel. The volume bears the address of Creagh & Byrne Solicitors of Listowel, county Kerry, and a note on the endpaper indicates that the maps were used as an exhibit in a court case involving the Irish Land Commission in 1905. The book commences with an index of townlands and five folding maps of multiple townlands. These are followed by individual townland maps, each on a single page. The maps show the boundaries and sizes of holdings on each townland and occasionally the name of the occupant or the nature of land, whether arable, pasture, bog or wood. The owners of surrounding townlands are also frequently identified. The maps are hand-coloured, and many of them contain coloured vignettes of thatched cottages, churches, ruins, trees or landscapes. The pages have been numbered throughout but many of the pages are blank.
