Book Inscription by jack4john

Book Inscription

Spotted this book inscription it a antique book shop. It dates from the height of the Irish famine. The book was valued at 245 euro which would have bought a lot potatoes back then though not a photo of a potato now it seems as one made a million this week. Emperor and new clothes comes to mind.

Hard times when no one could afford to buy books, only the evil British!

Who would have thunk it ?? A photo of a potato would be worth so much. Makes the book look cheap at 245...

Nice shot.
