    The National Library of Ireland on The Commons should sell this as a postcard - to send to ex-friends with the message "Wish you were here ... "

    Wikipedia article is very interesting - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilmainham_Gaol Recent reverse view via Sam_Hunter -

    This photo turns up in Kilmainham Memories where it is attributed to Robinson, Dublin. The book was published in 1896.

    Sharon Corbet Very interesting Sharon, perhaps Mr. Mason "acquired" the shot from Messrs. Robinson?
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons A couple more of the "Mason" Kilmainham photos seem to be also in the book, all attributed to Robinson. I've got the impression that at least some of the Mason Collection are not photos that he took himself, but ones that he collected and made into slides. One of his Trade Cards is at the Science Museum in London, where he advertises: "Cinematographs, Optical Lanterns and Slides for sale or hire"

    What are the round things? [ed.] They were not evident in 1953 - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000046717 catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000046627 catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000046720

    beachcomber australia Might they be heating vents? Ian Fleming wrote in 'Live and Let Die' of New York having a piped heating system with regular vents or gratings in the road.

    I have a photo just like this too following my 2016 Dublin trip. I think the jail was also used as a set to film "in the name of the father"

    Would the piles of "clothes" be more likely blankets?

    Clearly the date range must be 1914-16.
  • Carol Maddock said:
    "He was a 'doer' more than a writer". A couple of lovely photos of Seán MacDiarmada here in our Googley exhibition on the Signatories of the Proclamation. He looks so different with a beard.
  • O Mac said:
    The buttons, being on his left, would indicate that this photograph is reversed.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The webified version of the 1911 census does a very poor job of transcribing what the Gaeilgeors in the house wrote on the Census Form.

    O Mac Yes! On the companion photo the buttons are on the left, and his tie-pin wiggles the other way - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000029734
