Irish Thatched Cottage, Bunratty, County Clare, by Elmar Ludwig To mark St Patrick’s Day, the Photographers’ Gallery in London is releasing newly restored pictures of mid-20th-century Ireland by the famed John Hinde Studio. Dubbed the king of technicolour tourism, the studio’s postcards took the country from its conservative black and white past into an alluringly vibrant present, and made of it an enticing rural destination.All photographs: © John Hinde Collection / John Hinde Archive, courtesy of the Photographers’ Gallery
