Most books of Anglesey's history show the island's ancient monuments, its castles and churches. However, this book of over 180 old photographs, reveals a more recent past when the romantic pictures produced by the engravers had been replaced by the more realistic images of the photographers. Their cameras captured the instant moment and those everyday events that historians rarely record. We see children running to hear the organ grinder, a band playing at an eisteddfod, an open-air revivalist preacher, sea captains and crews, threshing machines and all the fun of Ffair y Borth. Some will still remember these days, but to a younger generation these pictures will bring the past alive. By understanding yesterday, they will be better able to understand the island and its culture today.
