    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...

    Streetview maps.app.goo.gl/2mYNueVMPYL8iyfG7 The Dublin Unitarian Church was opened 1863... Site bought from Synges family of playwright JM Synge fame. Something new everyday !!! www.dublinunitarianchurch.org/church-building/

    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.

    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...

    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
