bookseller

So that's what it said on that sign!

Edison's "New Living Pictures" are also featured in this shot of the Cork Coliseum:

The inscription on the monument reads: To Charles Stewart Parnell No Man has a right to fix the Boundary to the march of a nation No man has a right To say to his country Thus far shat thou Go and no further We have never Attempted to fix The ne-plus-ultra To the progress of Ireland’s nationhood And we never shall At the base of the statue the Irish inscription reads: Go roimhigid Dia Éire da Clainn

The site on the corner where the bookseller is was redeveloped in 1921 - so before then. Name: BATCHELOR & HICKS Building: CO. DUBLIN, DUBLIN, O'CONNELL STREET UPPER, NO. 037 (PROVINCIAL BANK) Date: 1921-1922 Nature: New bank on corner site. Classical. Contractor: G. & T. Crampton.

There's a member of the Dublin Metropolitan Police "C" District from Fitzgibbon Street Station (closed in the recent round of closures) wearing full rain gear. I wouldn't like to have been controlling that junction for eight hours in the rain.

Hope this helps. I checked in Trove, and the unclear spelling of the newsagent is: A.W.Glasson & Co. I've tagged the photo accordingly.

Welcome back! Have a Streetview

Niall McAuley Why thank you! Don't mind if I do...

Welcome back Carol, I was thinking of you when I saw the earthquakes in Bologna, I hope you were not too badly rattled in the process? Nice return to the scene and believe me you have been missed. I like this for the curiosities on display, the sign for the Pickwick pen by McNiven and Cameron overhead see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macniven_and_Cameron. There is also the number over the second part of the shot with the number 11-1/2. Just up the road in Dorset Street Upper near the junction with Blessington St was a shop number 123-1/2, I was always amused to see it and when development removed it I thought it a pity they did not retain it. I note that the headlines refer to a "Balkan War" but there did not appear to be a crisis in 1905 but there was one in 1908 and of course there was a little dispute in 1914 that led to a slightly larger dispute. "Bosnian Crisis 1908-09 Each succeeding international crisis from 1905 to 1913 threatened the security of all the powers and thus increased the hostility between the rival camps. If a war broke out in Europe, it would naturally become an international war involving all the powers.#"

Swordscookie Thanks, and no, we'd moved on to Rome by time of second quake! They are beautiful nibs, and you're right, the 11-1/2 is gorgeus, isn't it? Don't think we've come across that in any of our photos yet. I did try some of the headlines that I could make out in our online newspapers for dating purposes but couldn't find any exact matches...

I wonder if the Premier's trenchant speech referenced in the Weekly Freeman is Asquith in Dublin in July 1912?
