    yes it's Derry and it's the monument to George Walker
  • Niall McAuley said:
    We have seen a Clonbrock photo from Derry before. In the comments on the below, I noted that CLON2084 nearby in the catalogue is in Derry, between 1902-1919. The sequence 2080 to 2085 are all around Derry.
    Two sets of railings! To be sure, to be sure?

    Dark clouds over Derry
  • Niall McAuley said:
    O Mac It's strange after looking at so many Lawrence images where they carefully photoshop the sky out of the image to see clouds in this one. I remember Hinde postcards from when I was a kid, and the sky would be a ridiculous primary blue with fake white clouds...

Brooklyn Children's Field Day [wheel-barrow race] (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • John Horowitz said:
    I had no idea this game used to involve actual wheelbarrows. When did wheelbarrow races change to using children walking on their hands?
  • Wystan said:
    Well, they probably phased out the barrows after the first several bloody impalements on those rigid slalom spikes . . . .
  • skillful north said:
    Probably phased out when people no longer owned wheelbarrows!

    Back when things were more....gender seperate, minus the cellphones of course!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Jim Griffin Well, I have been wondering if the second brother was there because of photo day?
  • Jeff Gallagher said:
    The De La Salle brothers wore these way into the 00's. Well they did in my school anyway. It was one of the last schools in Ireland where they continued to teach.

    Jeff Gallagher Wow, even the white collary thing?
