Sandham Symes – A Transatlantic Journey

Rosemary Gifford approached Sarah Minnis Design to create the layout for this book she had written documenting her ancestor Sandham Symes.

Born in Ireland in 1807, Sandham Symes was an architect by profession, and was noted for the design of many well-known buildings in Ireland. He was also a very accomplished artist and a well-travelled man with eclectic interests. One of his finest collections of drawings and paintings that form part of this legacy are those originating from the period of time he spent in America and Canada in 1841 and 1880, which this book concerns itself with.

Sarah Minnis Design visually captured his experiences of travelling from Ireland to new York, as well as his time spent in various locations in America and Canada in this limited edition casebound book featuring pull out artefacts.
