    William Parsons, third Earl of Rosse, John's Place, Birr, County Offaly and yes to answer your questions.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    Streetview The NIAH entry dates it to c. 1870 (he died in 1867) and the photo is pre-engraving of his name on the plinth, so it must be shortly after it was erected.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    A slightly different view of the statue in the Lawrence Collection, but also lacking engraving so probably taken at a similar time frame.
  • Foxglove said:
    within NLofI Flickr I think you have a photo listed with the "great telescope",
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The DIA says it is by John Henry Foley, who also started the O'Connell monument in O'Connell St, did Fr. Matthew in Cork, Goldsmith and Burke in Trinity, Prince Albert on Leinster Lawn, Carlisle and Gough in the Phoenix Park, a Guinness at St. Patrick's Cathedral, and Grattan on College Green. I think we have seen all of those in the nli Flickr stream!

    ...most of the men are wearing shirts and ties, does this indicate that it might be a group of more "white collar" workers ? it's before the time of three word protest slogans
  • Suck Diesel said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons No, the women are across the street wheeling the prams!

    Portadown News - Saturday 29 November 1913 quoted the slogan in the picture in connection with Jim Larkin on his release from prison in 1913. It was already a "well-worn" phrase then.
    Mr Larkin, when he left Dublin after being released from prison, said he was going to raise the fiery cross and rally workers in other parts of the kingdom to the support of the Dublin strikers. The manifesto which he has addressed to the British workers is his fiery cross. It remains to be seen what response will be made to it. Mr. Larkin seems to be rather doubtful about the leaders at any rate, and makes his appeal to the rank and file. He says the leaders have come short of the gospel of human brotherhood, which is the spirit of trade unionism, and is embodied in "a well-worn phrase, 'An injury to the one is the concern of all.'" He claims on behalf of the workers generally "that you meant and still mean to put your whole body and soul into this fight in Dublin, and if your leaders have not, up to now, realised the vital issue at stake, you, O men of toil, do understand, and understanding are prepared to act."
