    Niall McAuley Why thank you! Don't mind if I do...

    Welcome back Carol, I was thinking of you when I saw the earthquakes in Bologna, I hope you were not too badly rattled in the process? Nice return to the scene and believe me you have been missed. I like this for the curiosities on display, the sign for the Pickwick pen by McNiven and Cameron overhead see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macniven_and_Cameron. There is also the number over the second part of the shot with the number 11-1/2. Just up the road in Dorset Street Upper near the junction with Blessington St was a shop number 123-1/2, I was always amused to see it and when development removed it I thought it a pity they did not retain it. I note that the headlines refer to a "Balkan War" but there did not appear to be a crisis in 1905 but there was one in 1908 and of course there was a little dispute in 1914 that led to a slightly larger dispute. "Bosnian Crisis 1908-09 Each succeeding international crisis from 1905 to 1913 threatened the security of all the powers and thus increased the hostility between the rival camps. If a war broke out in Europe, it would naturally become an international war involving all the powers.#"

    Swordscookie Thanks, and no, we'd moved on to Rome by time of second quake! They are beautiful nibs, and you're right, the 11-1/2 is gorgeus, isn't it? Don't think we've come across that in any of our photos yet. I did try some of the headlines that I could make out in our online newspapers for dating purposes but couldn't find any exact matches...

    I wonder if the Premier's trenchant speech referenced in the Weekly Freeman is Asquith in Dublin in July 1912?

    Some sort of a game of skill perhaps, where it costs penny to avoid being electrocuted.

    This is truly a "shocking" photo! Here is an earlier (1868) version of a 'shock therapy' device:

    Впечатляет! Все старые фото чем-то похожи, где бы ни были сделаны (Австралия, Германия или Россия). Вот только "голая" Африка выглядела бы одинаково и в ХХ, и в XIX... Полчается, всё из-за одежды?!
