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

This is that weir on the Dodder again:
Niall McAuley said:
Cataloguer was having a bad day- EAS_1844 next door is titled Beechwood Avenue, Kingstown. Beechwood Avenue is in Ranelagh, near enough to todays shot. Likewise EAS_1841, EAS_1845, and Charleston Road in EAS_1842

There are a number of Kingstown/Dun Leary shots in the early 1830s which are not digitized, but are probably correct given that they show the harbour. No harbour in Ranelagh/Milltown.

After this sequence of mis-titled shots, we have the nearby but correctly titled:

from source.southdublinlibraries.ie/handle/10599/8697

South Dublin Libraries have this VERY similar view, dated "c. 1881".
Spot the differences (hint: fence)

Probably the weir below Rathfarnham Bridge, from memory
Suck Diesel said:
beachcomber australia Your photo makes me think it’s the weir below Orwell Rd Bridge (Waldron’s Bridge), although I can’t place either buildings as the GeoHive map viewer won’t open the 25” without a sign in. Anybody else experiencing this?

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.
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
In this photo of Brown he is wearing the same (very similar) uniform as our men in the Carriage. Click Here
