    Is that the original image? It looks like it's been run through a sharpen filter.
  • derangedlemur said:
    I don't think it's '30s, btw. There'd have been fewer postwar cars about then.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    derangedlemur I think it's 1940s (from skirt lengths and girls' hair dos), and I tweaked shadow/highlight because the shadows were so dark. This'll give you an idea of original...

    Ulysses, Episode 8, Bloom was here: He crossed at Nassau street corner and stood before the window of Yeates and Son, pricing the fieldglasses. Or will I drop into old Harris's and have a chat with young Sinclair? Wellmannered fellow. Probably at his lunch. Must get those old glasses of mine set right. Goerz lenses six guineas. Germans making their way everywhere. Sell on easy terms to capture trade. Undercutting. Might chance on a pair in the railway lost property office. Astonishing the things people leave behind them in trains and cloakrooms. What do they be thinking about? Women too. Incredible. Last year travelling to Ennis had to pick up that farmer's daughter's bag and hand it to her at Limerick junction. Unclaimed money too. There's a little watch up there on the roof of the bank to test those glasses by.

    In today's photo we see Yeates shop still advertising Race Glasses in the window, and further along, "old Harris's".

    Streetview. The pillar box is still there.

    Flickr seems to think this photo was taken on May 20th 2091. Perhaps Dublin will have been converted to a Joycean theme park by then.

    Carters are demonstrating "social distancing". from street view so much is still familiar, the green is still encircled with the little (but renewed) posts
  • O Mac said:
    Foxglove The granite posts are still there but the linking chains are gone a while.. I remember them being there in the 70's.... the 1970's
  • Carol Maddock said:
    I love this one. We're usually over the other side of the Green (top of Grafton Street, near the Shelbourne, etc.).
  • George FitzPatrick said:
    Foxglove Looking the stone posts on the street view, some ones present day are cleaner that others. But all retain top cast/forged steel fitting for the chain. Modern copies? James Dobson &Co are listed in 1891 Kellys Post Office directory as Upholsterers and Decorators 20 Maddox St and 114 St Stephens Green. A sunny day and not a dog to be seen.
