Overview

In the wake of the Irish potato famine, E.K. Tenison and his wife, Lady Louisa, left their estate in Ireland to reside and travel in Andalusia and, later, in Castile. The adventure on which they embarked led to a husband-and-wife team of astonishing cultural production. This book documents their travels and presents their work to a new readership.
