  Oh I love the outfits the little girls are wearing in the bottom right of this photo!

  All human life is there! You have the young girls wearing their lovely outfits and the young boy in rags and bare feet, the poor, the well off, the young and old and all crowded into a space most of us have occupied at some stage. I like the sign on the right "Maypole tea is best!" - never heard of it but I'll take their word. Super shot NLI thank you for sharing this.

  Swordscookie No problem at all! :)

  Ulysses mostly ignores Earl street, although Nelson's pillar and the GPO are directly behind the photographer. Thom's 1904 covers this patch on page 1481. Meagher's, where Bloom lent Hynes three shillings, and Downes' cakeshop which Maria visits in the story "Clay" are somewhere on the near right.
