Beautiful

Based on the almost legible sign in this picture, the fancy one on the left was Indian, and I think presented either to or by Field Marshal Lord Gough.

Also, I can only see 3 pieces of artillery...
Sharon Corbet said:
Apparently, there were 4 guns presented to Lord Gough by the East Indian Company, and his son lent/gave 2 of them (howitzers) to the Museum. They're now at McKee Barracks, outside the officers' mess.

Leaving aside the cannons, his was taken in the Rotunda of what's now the NMI - Archaeology, on Kildare Stret. The zodiac mosaic is still there, even if the statues and artillery have been replaced by the Museum Shop.

It's from after around 1890 or later as the museum opened it's doors on 29th August of that year.

So much nicer without the railings. Isn't the statue in Australia now?

Is it a boer war memorial or is there just a sleepy soldier under it for fun?
derangedlemur said:
And speaking of fun, there should be bronze knockers on the doors to facilitate our senses of humour.
Martin Devlin said:
Bronz Knockers indeed ! we are getting ideas above ones station. We only had Brass Knockers in Dublin, the bronze ones were right clangers.

I'm going to be kicking myself if I can't remember where I've seen this before. The exam hall in Trinity, maybe?
derangedlemur said:
Nope. That's some bloke or other.

derangedlemur She must be somewhere. Maybe inside one of the RDS buildings?
derangedlemur said:
National Library of Ireland on The Commons Not necessarily. She might have got dropped and broken, except that I'm pretty sure I've seen her somewhere. Apparently not BOI, RHK, the Customs House or Dublin Castle, though, to name but a few.

I wonder did she fetch up on some church or other?
