this picture is before 1892, when the first horse tram ran.

Via Trove, this 1864 description - "The greatest event of the month [October 1864], however, has been the inauguration of Father Mathew's statue at Cork, which took place upon the 10th instant, amidst the most gratifying demonstration from all parties. The chisel of the illustrious [John] Hogan has given to us the placid face and the majestic form of the great Apostle, giving us a vivid idea of that inward power which enabled him to sway countless multitudes and subjugate them to his will. The priest, the father, the friend is gone but his spirit still dwells among us, visible in the improved habits not only of our own people but of all civilized nations who now happily look upon drunkenness as a vice and esteem temperance a virtue. ...

There is an earlier stereo pair without the ankle-biter bollards or "The New York House" at No. 12. Might help with dating - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000564283

Noticing that gas lamps, along the street that narrow it to before 1927. esbarchives.ie/2017/09/18/connecting-cork-to-the-national... So, were there tax collection records in Cork or Census, back between 1864 to 1930? Could identify one or two business and then cross-check tax and census records. Furneral notices for business owners along the street would also narrow it down, because it is likely the business did not extend much beyond passing. Clothing, certain hats worn, during a particular span opf time would also help. Further . . . This reference states there were electric trams with overhead powerlines in Cork, from 1901. And, I assume they were horse drawn from December 1898. www.askaboutireland.ie/learning-zone/primary-students/loo... www.askaboutireland.ie/aai-files/assets/libraries/an-chom... Wiki cites 22 December 1898 upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1e/Patrick_Stree... upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3d/Patrick_Stree... upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/86/A_street_scen... (Fergus O'Connor, Photographer) So, which is correct ESB reference or askaboutireland reference for primary schools? I would question the dating of the reference here: catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000320282 Nobody in uniform, street is quite busy, so good economic times. So, assume sometime between 1864 and 1898.

The Story Behind This Sculpture The original cake was specially made for the Mayoral Victory Ball held at Maryborough’s Town Hall to celebrate the end of the First World War. The original photograph was taken from SLQ’s collection of the night on April 29, 1919, in Maryborough. The night’s program featured dancing, music provided by a ‘Naval Band’ and a 30-foot model airship suspended from the ceiling. The main attraction however was the ‘Peace Cake’. The Maryborough Chronicle reported its intricate details: “Messrs Stellmach and Sons, the well-known bakers, were commissioned on short notice to prepare a cake worthy of the occasion, and in fulfilling the order have combined skill and ingenuity, and marked artistic taste, with most pleasing results. The cake stands about 5 feet high (1.5 meters), is approximately 24 inches in diameter (61cms), and weighs from three-quarters to one hundredweight (38 to 51kgs).” The principal sculptor Ms Elizabeth Hersey together with colleague Marni Koster completed the replica cake with the help of local cake decorators and sculptors. Every piece has been painstakingly made by hand, right down to each piping replica. Elizabeth conducted extensive research on the original cake to ensure each embellishment and element is historically correct. Elizabeth specializes in detailed bronze wildlife sculptures, cast in small limited editions. Marni creates free-form and abstract sculptures and has exhibited locally.
