Trinity College Dublin, late 19th century

    There's vast numbers of boaters being worn. Was that the style of the day or is there some boater related event on (Provost's garden party or something)?
  • Gerry Ward said:
    An electric tram and a horse-drawn tram should help with the dating. I believe electrification started in 1896 and was complete by 1901. But when did the last horse trams stop?
  • heady school said:
    I spy at least two top hats. One on a gent just passing the Trinity front gate, and another on a man about to leave frame on left.
  • derangedlemur said:
    There's a bicycle in the modern (post 1890) style on the left in front of the Bank of Ireland. It's a bit blurred but it has two wheels the same size, a trapezoid frame and a chain driven rear wheel.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Dublin Trams: This was completed in four years and when the last horse tram ran on the Bath Avenue line in January 1901, the Dublin area had about 66 electric route miles, of which nearly 50 were owned by the DUTC.

The Strand, Ballinskelligs, Kerry, circa 1900

    What's interesting is the quality and resolution of the glass plate in comparison to the presumably 35mm photo from 1990.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/eyelightfilms] Would imagine it was 35mm alright.
  • Robin Parkes said:
    A good big one beats a good little one every time. Even medium format beats 35mm hands down so you may guess what resolution a 19 x 13cm glass negative has.

    What is really interesting as regards the buildings is how many of the large two storey ones are missing from the 1990 shot. Population density had obviously dropped considerably. The number of farms/cottages and more remote buildings is no greater. The Abbey in the foreground was an Augustinian Priory. A neighbour of mine was from Ballinskelligs and her father was a noted Gaelgoir and author who wrote about the area. He published a book about Ballinskelligs just before he died a couple of years back.

    Looking forward to seeing more of these, great to hear they're now available.

    Channel 044 Well, we're up to Laois so far, but that leaves plenty more to come... Have a look at the whole set!
  • Channel 044 said:
    They're fascinating. Really enjoyed going through the whole stream yesterday, a wonderful resource. I posted a small edit of the photos here: shanolyno.tumblr.com/post/35213963117/irelandeditpart1
