Is the road unpaved or just dirty? And a lot more ghosts in the late 19th century.
Mike said:
Must be an unpaved road! So many ghosts!! ;) It could almost be in France?
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Michiel2005 I'm voting for unpaved. Lots of ghosts, even a ghostly horse and cart...
Niall McAuley said:
Bing do a nice Bird's Eye View of Lurgan.
Niall McAuley said:
This appears to be from before the Market House and other buildings from the middle of the street were cleared. The OS 6" map from the mid-19th century shows them still, and this Lurgan Ancestry page says they were gone by 1896.

The "Date" field doesn't make any sense. Einstein was *born* in 1879 (as the photo title says). [update, much much later] -- I see that this was fixed at some point. Thanks]
Rob Bernhard said:
From the Smithsonian's own website, to left of Einstein, with hand-in-jacket, is Albert Abraham Michelson and to the right is Robert Andrews Millikan. Tags added.

This is the coolest picture here on Flickr!!!!!
Gavin Veasey said:
Albert Einstein has the best hair out of all of them.
Paul Mison said:
The date is the earliest possible date, given when Einstein was born. Michelson died in 1931, and it's unikely that this was taken before Einstein's relativity was widely accepted after the first world war, so I'd suggest this is most likely to be during the 1920s.
