Very happy with this cover for ‘Irish Culture and Partition, 1920-1955’, which features a detail from Evie Hone’s stained glass window 'Four Green Fields'. This window was originally shown at the New York's World Fair in 1939, but is now found in Government Buildings on Merrion Street

During that time he was instrumental in commissioning and publishing over 50 volumes for the series, first under the auspices of University of Exeter Press, and subsequently LUP, when that part of the Exeter list was acquired by LUP in 2013.
