    The image, taken at Vaughan’s Hotel on Parnell Square in Dublin on August 22nd 1921 – came about exactly one year before General Michael Collins was shot. Collins is seen in the back row, holding his head to one side, and many believe it was because he did not want to be readily identified at the time. ... "
