The path tells us that they are arriving at the Mansion House, Dawson St. Dublin. catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000238668

O Mac Excellent.

Well done O Mac - That seems pretty unequivocal. The man on the right looks desperately familiar. But I can't place him...

If they are walking directly into the Mansion House, then the shadows suggest mid-morning and the lack of overcoats on the background figures suggests a good day, presumably summertime, therefore not a meeting of the 1st Dail in January 1919.

guliolopez Arthur Griffith did have a similar hat and coat. independentarchives.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/Treaty...

Woody Guthrie's song Ludlow Massacre . This video has more photos. -- Seen on your photo stream. ( ?² )

Thanks mik.maine, for the link to the great video. Woody's song adds so much by telling the story of the coal miners' strike in Colorado, and the Ludlow Massacre. We'll fill in more information the next time we update the record.

A photo worth thousands of words.

wow.. a photo which is not like millions of others on flickr. amazing!

Thanks, Amina, that's a lovely compliment!

At school I hated history with a vengeance as Joyce put it "a nightmare from which I am trying to escape". Dull and dry - dates, dates and more dates. When I see pictures like these they bring history to life and it becomes interesting. Thank you for posting them.

You're very welcome, Richard! Really appreciate you taking the time to comment...
