STORIES BEHIND MY NEWS PICTURES by Pat Maxwell. Published in Dublin in 2006. Large format paperback book - not published in hard cover. Slight curl to the tips of the cover corners but otherwise in very good condition. 

Pat Maxwell was the original pioneer of Irish photo-journalism. From his office in Hawkins Street, Dublin he developed a very successful business model by photographing major events in Ireland and syndicating his work to newspapers in the UK and beyond. His agency was reputed to be one of the first in the country to have a wire service to transmit his photos without delay across the globe. He photographed some of the most momentous news events and personalities in Ireland in the second half of the 20th Century. A natural raconteur, this book showcases his photographs and places them in context with anecdotes and background information.
