Photographic postcard of a group of ten male rail workers

from Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons

  When I saw this picture, I did not get why I liked it, something got my attention. I like old pictures of groups of persons, each one in a pose showing a little bit of themselves in the photographic portrait, and in this picture I got the detail that captured my eye: the little puppy on the shoulder of the two men in the middle. I could guess that these men had a physically demanding job, and they are proud to be posing to this portrait, showing how they are in a demanding job, also proud of their little pet.

  DannyM8 I got it right! beachcomber australia has had to correct my telling of the big hand from the little hand more than once... :D

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  DannyM8 Danny, I want to try something new. If I can get you a dog (in fact a hound), will you put in a little research on a lady?

  I thought we had this one already, or did we just reference it while digging through some other B&Ts photo?

• derangedlemur said:

  It looks like Patrick's Street, at a guess: maps.google.ie/?ll=51.89984,-8.470695&spn=0.009149,0....

• derangedlemur said:

  Actually, maybe not. HE on the background suggests that the row of houses in the background are quite a bit lower than the street in the foreground (though the image is pretty murky).

• DannyM8 said:

  The ruins of Sunner's Chemists perhaps.

  During the War of Independence Cork was one of the main centres of resistance to British Rule. In one of the worst atrocities committed during the War of Independence. British forces deliberately set fire to several blocks of buildings along the east and south sides of St. Patrick's Street during Saturday night 11 December 1920 and the following Sunday morning. The City Hall and the nearby Carnegie Library were also completely destroyed by fire. From www.corkpastandpresent.ie/history/historyofcorkcity/early...
