Michal Joseph Staines, First Police Commissioner Actually quite a nice photo, for its age/date. Photographically-speaking, looks like the face was re-touched, at some point, during processing or printing or maybe sometime later. Also, too much empty white space above his head, so wonder why the photographer didn't show more below the sternum, unless he wasn't wearing any trousers. Lastly, with his chin and nose up, it makes him appear a bit supercilious and like Pinnochio, which most politicians are, anyway. It would have looked better to have had him pose looking toward the camera, chin slightly down or level and lowering the left shoulder and raising the right . . . as the way the photo looks he appears deformed. Sadly, there was no Flickr, back then and nobody to provide a bit of coaching for taking portraits. catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000585551 www.bureauofmilitaryhistory.ie/reels/bmh/BMH.WS0944.pdf#p... www.generalmichaelcollins.com/life-times/rebellion/free-s... www.generalmichaelcollins.com/life-times/rebellion/an-gar... www.policehistory.com/staines.html www.generalmichaelcollins.com/life-times/albums/photo-alb...

Wikipedia says he was born in 1885 in Mayo, father Edward, mother Margaret, so this has to be him in the 1911 census, living in Dublin, working as an ironmonger's assistant.

The upside-down car is, I think, a VW Type 4 - see the air vents on the 'boot' lid and the horizontal light cluster. The car nearest the image is almost certainly a Ford, probably an Escort or Cortina. The hubcaps and round air-vent point towards one of these, I think. The tiny portion of car in the background looks like an early Audi.

Also the damage on the VW with the light cluster on the side nearest the footpath turned by 90 degrees might indicate the area of impact. The scrape marks and dent on the wing of the Ford could also be significant.
