    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...

    Detailed account of the Royal visit in Michael J. McCarthys book , "Five Years in Ireland, 1895-1900" (1901). www.ricorso.net/rx/az-data/authors/Mc/McCarthy_MJF/xtra.h...

    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.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    In this photo of Brown he is wearing the same (very similar) uniform as our men in the Carriage. Click Here

  • Marta said:
    Billiant shot!!!!!
  • Spidra Webster said:
    Utterly bizarre that their actual hair is powdered. Even in the heyday of powdering, it was wigs they were using it on, was it not?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Spidra Webster Apparently not! It was their own hair that was powdered...
