The book, "Impressions of an Irish Countess (The photography of Mary, Countess of Rosse)", by David H. Davidson proved invaluable in the compilation of this section of the Birr Castle Web site. This book was published by The Birr Scientific Heritage Foundation in 1989 and provides great detail on the work of Mary Rosse, as well as excellent reproductions of some of her finest images.
