    From the 58th annual meeting of the Royal Zoological society of Ireland in January 1890, as reported in Freeman's Herbivore House - The original sum of £300 from the Natural History Society of Dublin wasn't enough, so an appeal was made which raised: Royal Dublin Society - £100 Public Subscription £217-19s £450 was spent on the building, 'and the remainder in the purchase of the animals and in the execution of much-needed repairs to other houses' Its first residents were Moose, Stag Wapiti, 2 red deer hinds, and male and female sambur.

    Richard III?
  • Swordscookie said:
    Anew McMaster, Richard Duke of Gloucester from Richard III, the Capitol Theatre in Princes Street, 1936 (Howzat for a guess?)
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Jon Hall Was thinking Richard III alright, because of the odd shoulder pose.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Swordscookie That's the kind of "guess" that makes me need to go and have a little lie down! Come on, spill! :)
  • Swordscookie said:
    Richard III is easy, McMaster was the master in those days, the Capitol is a bum steer, I really think it was the Queens and 1936 for no particular reason! As regards guessing I've never managed to win the lottery in all the years its been going so you can tell how good I am!

    Definitely the corner of O'Connell Street and Bachelor's Walk, with Westmoreland Street in the distance, over the bridge. Peterson's Pipes are still around.

    Civility.

    ... and the base of the clock is still there on Hickey's Pharmacy!
  • Swordscookie said:
    I agree that this is in O'Connell Street just past the junction with Bachelors Walk! These crowd scenes are excellent for looking at dress, uniforms, conditions and the changes that have taken place in the meantime. The majority of the police on display here are DMP(G) with the bobby helmets with the exception of the Inspector/Officer on the left with either a sabre or walking stick. The senior ranks of the Garda retained these sticks as part of the uniform right up to the Conroy Commission in the late '60's. Kapp and Petersons were the shop on the corner and a source of great pipes and fine tobacco in the days when smoking was healthy and beneficial to all an sundry!
