Henry William Mobsby was born on 17 Aug 1860 at Hove, Sussex, England, and came to Queensland in 1883 with the landscape artist Isaac Walter Jenner, whose daughter, Mary Ellen, he later married. Mobsby had studied art and design at the South Kensington School of Arts and at the School of Art, Brighton. He had diplomas and certificates from the London Chamber of Commerce, the City and Guilds Institute, the Cripplegate Institute and the South Kensington School of Arts. Mobsby was an instructor in Decoration and Photography at the Brisbane Technical College before being appointed artist and photographer with the Department of Agriculture and Stock in 1897. In 1899, he was also appointed to the Chief Secretary’s Department and the Intelligence and Tourist Bureau. Mobsby’s photography gained international distinction and he officially represented Queensland at the Franco-British Exhibition in London in 1908, the Panama Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco in 1915 (where he took a motion picture certificate course), the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley in 1924, and the New Zealand and South Seas Exhibition in Dunedin in 1925 and 1926. Mobsby gave many lectures on Queensland, its history, products, scenery, buildings, etc., illustrated by lantern slides. He also made a number of radio broadcasts in the 1920s. He retired in 1930, and died on 9 Apr 1933 at his home at 100 Station Road, Indooroopilly. He is buried in Toowong Cemetery. Source: manuscripts.library.uq.edu.au/downloads/uqfl181.pdf

Script title says September 1870 (see note). Educated guess - photographer is Charles Pickering, under the direction of James Barnet, who is probably one of those gents with a top hat.

‘Aras Mhic Dhiarmada’ as it was once called

National Library of Ireland on The Commons Well, it’s just across the street from Amiens St. railway station, probably on his way there and saw this alternative mode of transport

Suck Diesel Is Aras Mhic Dhiarmada not still there, referring to the Government offices over the bus station?
