The Wind Bloweth

An Ulsterman goes to sea, to Wales, to Spain and to the Levant, and comes home each time no more settled than he left. Donn Byrne wrote in an Irish cadence deliberately kept in his English, and this is the book his admirers name first. This edition binds 49 plates of seascape and coastal painting, among them works by Ivan Aivazovsky, Johan Christian Dahl and Frans Swagers, alongside seven restored and coloured illustrations.
