    The guy with goggles is the despatch rider for the bike. Possibly a Triumph. When the WW1 started, recruted Despach riders had to bring their own bikes!

    Great photograph. The street looks a little wide for Clonmel street or even Harcourt street for that matter. Could it be Dame street?

    The truck looks like it could be one of those Crossley Tenders we have seen before -

    O'Connell Street, looking North. Streetview

    According to Wikipedia (so it must be true!), the RN plate is from the Preston area and the NC plate is from Manchester.

    "Vasari, Roma" bottom right ?? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_fotografico_Vasari Guessing Rome ...

    I see the catalogue already knows that. But the catalogue does not know that 29 November 1921 was a Tuesday. Can't find it on streetview - anybody?
  • Niall McAuley said:
    beachcomber australia I don't see it on Streetview. It is a bit like this house, with the small barred basement windows, but not the same one.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Niall McAuley Yes, the lie of the land is not right there. How about here - goo.gl/maps/jGKxChwjBjVUkYJHA . Perhaps the Villa de la Penne was redeveloped and that curved garden in front was incorporated into the Grand Hotel Palace in the 1920s ??
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    There's a mention here that George Gavan Duffy "had his headquarters in the Via Veneto, Rome, as the ‘envoy extraordinary of the delegation of the Irish Republic’", which would match beachcomber australia's suggestion.
