The two lads are probably footmen as they are not actually in the 'cart' proper. The same lads are seen in the newsreal below at 1min 30secs in looking stiff as bricks. The other two women are the Queens daughters, Princess Christian and Princess Beatrice. Mason's photograph was most likely taken on the way to the Phoenix Park from Kingstown(DunLaoghaire) on the 4th April 1900.....around midday.... as cortege reached Viceregal lodge at 2pm. www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=q9gwn...

O Mac They've got medals. Do you not think they'd be genuine soldiers?
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
O Mac derangedlemur Which end of Grafton Street would you say? (for my map) I am inclined to go with the medals argument, I still say we will have their names before the day is out. For a while I thought the big man might be John Brown but it is not him.

In this photo of Brown he is wearing the same (very similar) uniform as our men in the Carriage. Click Here

I can barely make out the date on Pall Mall magazine, but it might be July 1905. Or maybe 1906. "The Royal" in his hand, does say July on the cover. Pretty heavy coat for July though. Found a picture of the June 1905 Pall Mall, but I think they all had the same cover design.

Hoot, hoot! The Busiest Boy in Dublin has been identified, just over a year since we put him up here on Flickr...

Street view found with the help of this - www.askaboutireland.ie/reading-room/environment-geography... - " ... his position, at the door leading to and from the mail boats ... "
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/eyelightfilms] Yep, very happy about the July part of things, the heavy overcoat notwithstanding. He had to sit around a lot, needed to stay warm, and his overcoat and trilby were a trademark according to article on Ask about Ireland...

It is clear that this is a photograph of two seperate prints tacked to a board, this does not look like the normal (is there a normal?) Eblana process.
Niall McAuley said:
Steamer on our left is the Ulster, one of four Mail steamers which began service in 1896. The one on the right looks similar, so is presumably the Leinster, Munster or Connaught.
Niall McAuley said:
The ladies fashions are not long after 1896.

That obelisk is still in Dun Laoghaire in Streetview.
beachcomber australia said:
The obelisk is easy to read here - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000328003 . It commemorates a visit by George IV in 1821. Photo also shows two of the earlier paddle steamer RMS. so pre 1897 (?) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_Dublin_Steam_Packet_Company
