1959 Irish Cement Engineers Tour Original Industrial Photograph Album

A fascinating original 1959 Irish Cement industrial photograph album, documenting an Engineers’ Tour undertaken in September 1959.
The period screw-bound album contains a substantial collection of original black-and-white photographs showing cement and concrete production, road construction, specialist engineering machinery, industrial demonstrations, construction sites and members of the touring group.
The inside cover is stamped:
“With Compliments – Cement Limited – Telephone 65491”
Cement Limited was the historic Irish cement company associated with the later Irish Cement Limited, making this an unusual piece of Irish corporate, industrial and engineering history. �
IMQS +1
The opening page features a map of the tour route across Europe, while the remaining photographs are individually mounted and numbered. The careful presentation suggests that the album was produced as an official company or professional engineering record rather than as a private family album.
The photographs provide an excellent visual record of:
Irish cement-industry history
Civil engineering and road construction
Concrete-laying techniques
Heavy industrial machinery
European engineering works
Mid-century corporate and technical travel
The red textured cover shows visible age-related wear, marks and rubbing. The internal black pages and mounted photographs appear generally well preserved for their age. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description.
A scarce and highly specialised archive suitable for collectors of Irish Cement memorabilia, Irish industrial history, civil engineering, construction photography, vintage machinery and original company archives.
