Description
Doors of the World Series by Lexa Harpell.
Dublins Georgian Doors. Georgian architcture began in the 1700s when English Protestants ruled the city. The Georgian townhouses are found mainly south of the Liffley River.
It began a custom for Dubliners to paint their doors in bright colours after the Irish Tourism offices on Fith Avenue New York painted a collage of brightly painted doors in their window on St Patricks Day in 1970.
It was a successful marketing campaign as many entered their doors to enquire its significance and see another side of Dublin's rich history.
The human fascination with doors. Who or what do they keep contained inside or outside. The intrigue of the unknown of what lies behind, at times with a lock or bolt. Hinged securely or flimsily. They can also be warm and welcoming, inviting you to enter.
Pondering the hands that touched or persons who entered.
The patterns, textures, shapes and age all have their own appeal to the senses. From elegance, rustic, gothic, weathered, peeling, mysterious, intrigue, architecture.....
The fascination of doors - locked or bolted, they make you ponder. They intrigue us of what lies beyond. They create a mystery of sorts. Or they can be open and are warm and welcoming.
