This section of the Iconography presents mostly vintage pictures of places in Ireland, England, France, Germany, and Palestine as they were when George Moore was present, or at least during his lifetime.
Places are listed in rough chronological order according to when they come into Moore’s biography, and grouped for ease of navigation.
I use the phrase “George Moore wrote from…” to indicate that a place was his return address in a letter. As this Iconography grows, more places that he was known to frequent will be added. “Homes of Lady Cunard” is the first of this kind: important places he visited but did not write from.
