cab

Those cabs seem to be of the drive-it-yourself variety.

Cobbled street, railway in the background...

I think this might be Store St., very much changed. Just outside where Busaras is now. The lampost matches!

That's a pretty funky bus. Can't remember ever seeing any like that on the streets of Dublin. No doubt someone will know all about it.

Could this be it ? (Store St, as"slow loose chippings "suggested) All that seems to be the same is the railway bridge and the lamppost, but the airport bus would leave from there. g.co/maps/h8f8m

Date 1885-1888 1885 - after the completion of Elliot Brothers warehouse (seen here in the distance to the rhs), built 1884-85...ran between O'Connell and Bligh Sts... 1888 - before the construction of the Southern extension to the Lands Office (1888-92)

New York Times headline, 2 January 1915: "Woman Taxi Driver Invades Broadway; New York's First Feminine Chauffeur Starts Business on New Year's Day.; Men Rivals are Friendly; She Wears a Leopard-Skin Hat and Stole--Gets Big Tip from Initial Fare." Story says of the rest of her ensemble: Even before it was een that the driver was wearing a skirt, her appearance attracted attention. She wore on her head a huge round hat of leopard skin, and around her neck and over her shoulders the yellow and black spotted pelt of the same animal...She had on a brown skirt that came down just below the tops of her high tan boots, and a brown jacket. Her forearms were lost in black leather gloves." Wilma K. Russey had a chauffeur's license, and was employed as a mechanic by Dalton's Garage at 354 W. 50th St. She's mentioned in this 1997 MA thesis, Kimberly Berry, "The Experience and Expression of Gender among Women Taxi Drivers": www.taxi-library.org/nolady.htm She also turns up in Virginia Scharff, Taking the Wheel: Women and the Coming of the Motor Age (UNM Press 1999): 85.

Nice photo of a woman taxi driver.....

The Sunday Oregonian. (Portland, Ore.) 1881-current, January 24, 1915, SECTION SEVEN, Image 74 printed this photo with the caption: "New York has a chauffeuse. She is Wilma K. Russey and she is the first woman to be licensed as a cab driver in the big city. Miss Russey was once an aerial worker in a circus and on the vaudeville circuit. She is thoroughly acquainted with the mechanics of the car and looks after her own maachine. She says she is not going to take tips - a fact which should make her automobile popular." oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn83045782/1915-01-24/ed-1/se...

B-59: Thanks! We will include more information about Russey next time we update the description.
