    There's no need to apologise - this is a great documentary 'action' shot from the 1920s which really captures the drama of the event. So far as the ad's concerned... when I worked on newspapers as a reporter in the 1960s, spaces on the pages were allocated for ads, but we (in the editorial department) never knew what the content of the ads were - they were just blank spaces during the production process. If that's how it was at the Irish Independent way back then, it's likely to be coincidence - a nice one, though!

    Peter Denton The next ad was for Minimax Hand Fire Extinguishers and proclaimed "50,230 actual fires extinguished by the Minimax Hand Fire Extinguisher since January, 1904 (include many indendiary burnings). Refills free; inspections free; & Descriptive pamphlet free from Minimax Ltd., Dublin." Sadly, I would imagine that business was booming in Ireland at this time...

    Dublin Zoo is one of the worlds most successful breeders of Lions. At the time of this shot, they were housed in old style Victorian cages inside the Russell House, - a lovely building in itself. Their space was quite small, and you could get very close to the big cats. Thats when Zoos were for people, now Zoos are for animals.

    A beautiful creature, yet so dangerous! He has a humble look in his eyes, which we all know is very deceiving!
