Summary

Description

So much has changed and so little has changed! This shot of Dame St. in Dublins city centre is still recognisable today despite perhaps 100 years that have elapsed. Mr. French must have obtained access to a building on Palace St. to get such a Point of View. There is much in this image to help date it?

And indeed with initial input from [/photos/gnmcauley/ Niall McAuley] and [/photos/beachcomberaustralia/ BeachcomberAustralia], the date was confirmed to be before 1900 (based on the horse-drawn trams and street lighting). [/photos/47297387@N03/ Carol Maddock] was then able to refine further, using the notice about the opéra comique named Olivette which was seemingly playing at the Theatre Royal in June 1898. Helping refine the date to the summer of 1898. At 3:40 in the afternoon :)

Photographer: Robert French

Collection: Lawrence Photograph Collection
