| About the Irish Historical Picture Company |
| Our archive of over 23,000 Heritage images of the 32 Counties of Ireland began to be put together in 1965. |
| Initially, its purpose was to assist in persuading overseas Film Producers and Directors to locate the shooting of Period Films in Ireland - The Cletic Tiger with its high-rises and gridlock had not yet arrived! |
| With the demise of our retail Gallery, we are working "around the clock" to construct this website which, when completed, with all its encompassing databases, will be the most comprehensive of its kind. |
| Our images have been raw scanned from the originals. Many were hand tinted at the time and, if preferred, they can be reprinted in sepia tone at no extra cost - please specify. |
| On a separate listing, you will find 130 stockists of our products around the country. Naturally, they will concentrate on their local areas, and may not have all our products and so, a phone call is advised first. |
| With such a vast selection of images and applications available as gifts, one might consider our gift vouchers as a way of solving the dilemma of choice. Apart from prints for pictures, we can supply our images on candles, chopping boards, clocks, mugs, plaques, surface savers, tea towels, trays, table mats and coasters. |
| This diversification has led to the renaming of our business to that of "Irish Heritage Giftware", with us retaining "The Irish Historical Picture Company" as a trade name. |
