    No wonder we don't know the lady's name, she's being crowded out by the two men.

    I think this Michael Scott is the architect. The house he lived in is right next to the James Joyce Tower in Sandycove, and he "and his friends founded the James Joyce Museum with financial assistance from filmmaker John Huston".
  • Niall McAuley said:
    A page on A.J. "Con" Levanthal finishes: Leventhal appeared unwittingly as Bloom in John Ryan’s Bloomsday film of 1954, with Brian O’Nolan (Flann O’Brien), Patrick Kavanagh, and Anthony Cronin. There was a film of the day?? And of course, it is on youtube. Ah, we have seen it before, and it is not a film with parts and a script, it is just random bits of video such as you might make with your phone while worse for wear.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    O’Nolan was “unsurprisingly” drunk before the group even gathered at the home of architect Michael Scott, which remains just below the Martello Tower where the opening scenes of "Ulysses" take place.

    Bloomsday, 16 June 1954 was a Wednesday ... VW Beetle bonnet?
  • Carol Maddock said:
    Morning Mary, please clean your pince-nez and have a closer look. ;) That’s not a booth. That’s the carriage they’d been swanning around Dublin in (please excuse me, while I tuck away that dangling preposition).
  • beachcomber australia said:
    There were two carriages in this birds-eye view, and also from the street - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000050506 catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000050374 Can anyone identify the American car behind the VW?

    beachcomber australia looks like a Chevy name badge, but don't know my models, some sort of land yacht, anyway.

    He looks as if he is posing for a profile on a coin already.
  • Ilia Alshanetsky said:
    beautifully captured!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    This photograph came to us in an envelope that said: “This envelope contains a faded print of photograph (taken by Willie Pearse) of Mary Brigid Pearse, Patrick Pearse, Mrs. Pearse, Alfred Magloughlin (Alfred Ignatius McGloughlin, married to Emily Pearse in 1884), Margaret Brady (cousin) and Margaret Pearse”. I've put notes on some of the people above, but would appreciate confirmation of which woman is Margaret Mary Pearse. I think it's the woman at the left?
  • Foxglove said:
    from a quick look at her entry in Wikipedia, the photo would indicate that the woman standing on right is MM Pearse
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Niall McAuley Yes, he seems to have preferred his right profile. Was there something wrong with the other side of his head?
