Book cover sparks happy memories for Cork man featured as child in old picture
Cork boy Kevin O'Connor as a child in 1947 with his family on the cover of the Old Ireland In Colour 3 book.
A book of old images was given a special connection to the present when one of the people featured on the cover picture showed up the launch on Thursday night. Cork native Kevin O’Connor, 79, flew over from England to be present at the Porterhouse in Galway for the launch of Old Ireland in Colour 3, the latest book in the phenomenally successful series.
The cover image – taken in 1947 by a photographer from the Cork Examiner – features a young O’Connor and his family taking a break during harvest time at a field in Wilton.
