Mr Manning of 103 Grafton Street was advertising the post of Assistant Buyer and Charge Hand (Male or Female) for his mantle and fur department in the Belfast News-letter Saturday, March 26, 1898. Good experience, appearance, and address indispensable.

Joseph Manning, Importer of Foreign Co-stumes. The building behind dated from 1859 and was replaced by the present one in 1912 by West and Son. www.dia.ie/works/view/35511/CO.+DUBLIN%2C+DUBLIN%2C+GRAFT... www.dia.ie/works/view/35513/building/CO.+DUBLIN%2C+DUBLIN...

From Thoms 1862 Grafton Street 102 & 103 Manning, Jos. silk mercer and importer of foreign goods, and Fortfield, Templeogue, 140l. „ Manning, Mrs. Harriet, milliner, dress maker and outfitter
John Spooner said:
This is the sort of ensemble one might obtain from Mr Manning's établissement.
Her Excellency the Countess Cadogan wore a dress specially designed by Mr. Alfred Manning, of Grafton Street, made of a very beautiful and striking silk material, with a bright gem chartreuse tinsel stripe, which shimmered and shone at every movement. The skirt was long and full, with points round the foot set in with accordion-shot silk; a coat-shaped bodice, accordion silk vest, large revers of silk, outlined in Chartreuse velvet, and lovely Limerick lace, with large paste and enamel buttons of quaint design, completed the charming costume, which was crowned by a small capote bonnet, in black chenille, Chartreuse osprey, and sequins.
(The Belfast News-Letter, Thursday, August 27, 1896, in an account of day 2 of the National Horse Show.)

The Irish Industries Lace Depot in Dublin`s Grafton Street was one of the most important retailing outlets for Irish lace while Arnott and Co was another. Harrod’s in London commissioned lace gowns which were displayed in their shop windows. The Princess of Wales wore a Youghal shawl when she married the future king Edward VII and, in 1873, Queen Victoria invited Youghal lace makers to Buckingham Palace to demonstrate their art. Queen Mary`s wedding dress train was made of Youghal and contained 5,250,000 stitches made from nearly 12 miles of thread.

I see the bebrollied priest of drogheda is in this picture too. Seems to have glammed up a bit for the capital.

The Irish Lace Depot, whose interior is illustrated here, was purchased by Lady Aberdeen from the family of the lace dealer, Ben Lindsay, on his death. Apart from its sales, it provided another important service, because it supplied designs and materials. Lady Aberdeen also organized a sales outlet in London and part of the profits from the Chicago Exhibition was used to set up a depot there. irishartsreview.com/gpairisartsrevi/pdf/1988/20492056.pdf... Still no dates though.

derangedlemur "I see the bebrollied priest of drogheda is in this picture too. Seems to have glammed up a bit for the capital." They had women priests (bebrollied or otherwise) in those days??? I wonder what all the fuss is about now so? It looks more like a lady with a parasol though on closer examination but as you said it just MIGHT be a priest who has glammed up a bit;-)

Just looking at the bikes pedal-propped against the kerb: not a lock in sight. How times have changed.
