    I love the way they're all craning their necks to catch a glimpse of the Big Fella.

    Michael Collins has the only uncovered head in the picture, as far as I can see.

    Considering it was dismantled in 1939 (by DeValera), I certainly never saw it! It was replaced in 1950.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The DIA records it as G.A. designer of temporary cenotaph erected in memory of Arthur Griffith and Michael Collins, 1923
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    Archiseek has more info on it and Atkinson: Atkinson was headmaster of the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art, 1918-1937, and first director of the National College of Art.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Ha ha! Anne Dolan's book "Commemorating the Irish Civil War" has a section on it titled "The elephant on Leinster Lawn", and says some labelled it "the dire apparition of the Griffith-Collins singularity", so I guess it was not universally popular!
  • Niall McAuley said:
    You can't tell from this photo, but there is a forty foot celtic cross in the middle.
