Curiously the Cork Examiner retrospective "Picture That" makes no mention of the 1902 exhibition but does mention the huge popularity of the 1889 exhibition

Double view or stereograph?

Woesinger Stereo, sorry! Was being lyrical rather than accurate...

National Library of Ireland on The Commons No worries - was being curious rather than pernickity.

FYI: Probably down to the original meta data/labelling, but strictly speaking that's NOT the "Old Cork Customs House". That's the "Old Cork City Hall". To clarify:

The Old Cork Customs House is an 18th century building on Emmet Place. (Built 1724 it later became premises of the Royal Cork Institution. The building is still there - now part of Crawford School of Art). The New Cork Customs House was built in 1818 by Abraham Hargrave on Albert Street. (In 1882 it became HQ of the Cork Harbour Commissioners. The building is still there - now home to Port of Cork Company) The Old Cork City Hall (pictured here) was built in the 19th Century on Albert Quay. (Originally a corn exchange it was extended and repurposed for municipal use after the Cork Exhibition. It was destroyed in the burning of Cork in 1920 - and is gone) The New Cork City Hall was built in the 1930s to replace the old structure on Albert Quay. (It was opened in 1936 - and is still there)

The map coordinates are therefore not entirely accurate. Should actually be around here.

guliolopez You are an absolute legend! Have changed description, tags, and hopefully the location is now more accurate - thank you so much for going to all this trouble...
