"When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence." Deuteronomy 22:8. So I say it is a railing.

Michiel2005 And I certainly wouldn't argue with someone quoting from Deuteronomy this early in the day!

beachcomber australia Don't know that we had so many of them in Ireland, but if so, that would put this near the sea...

A moustache was clearly the facial fashion statement of the day!

The two lads are probably footmen as they are not actually in the 'cart' proper. The same lads are seen in the newsreal below at 1min 30secs in looking stiff as bricks. The other two women are the Queens daughters, Princess Christian and Princess Beatrice. Mason's photograph was most likely taken on the way to the Phoenix Park from Kingstown(DunLaoghaire) on the 4th April 1900.....around midday.... as cortege reached Viceregal lodge at 2pm. www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=q9gwn...

O Mac They've got medals. Do you not think they'd be genuine soldiers?
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
O Mac derangedlemur Which end of Grafton Street would you say? (for my map) I am inclined to go with the medals argument, I still say we will have their names before the day is out. For a while I thought the big man might be John Brown but it is not him.

In this photo of Brown he is wearing the same (very similar) uniform as our men in the Carriage. Click Here
