    Does the top say "Fiat"?

    YI 1 to YI 9999 (Apr 1921 - Mar 1927);
    So relatively soon after 1921
    I bet the car is a Fiat,
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Spidra Webster It does indeed say FIAT. That's the only thing we're sure about.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    DannyM8 Unfortunately we don't have motor directories for the 1920s, so no way to check the registered owner.

    I think it is outside 45 Merrion Square

    Being able to see evocative photographs such as this, taken in emotional times when history really was in the making, makes me appreciate more than ever the immense and irreplaceable value of photography, and of the National Library's archive. This is an outstanding image, not least because it's immediate and unposed... and the subjects, of course, are of profound importance to Ireland's history. Utterly beyond value - and a joy to view, nearly 90 years later.

    Well Taken. Grief for families world wide is to lose a Soldier at war.

    Thank you my friend,..Respect..!
  • Angela Orlando said:
    Wonderful historic vintage photo in B&W!!! Not knowing Irish heroes as well as y'all, can you tag the soldiers so one can know which is Michael Collins and Risteard Mulcahy in this photo. Thank you so very much!!!

    Angela Orlando Sorry, maorlando, should have done that earlier. Notes now added on each man...

    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.
