Thomas Moore (Irish: Tomás Ua Mórdha), 1779 - 1852, Irish poet, writer, translator and ballad singer. He is often referred to as the Irish national poet, mainly because of the Irish Melodies, his most famous cycle of works, which is still very popular in Ireland and England today and was first published in 1808. In Maclise, Moore found a congenial illustrator for his ballads. Master binding from the Riviere workshop (signed " Bound By Riviere" on the flyleaf). The famous bookbindery in London's West End was one of the leading workshops for 100 years and also enjoyed a first-class international reputation.
