Summary[edit]

Description

While slightly hungover and off colour after yesterday's celebrations here in Library Towers at reaching 50M, it is still my duty to post today! And what a post? This Eason image of Doyle's Corner is full of interest and evidence of the daily life in Ireland in the first half of the last century! I am looking forward with anticipation to read what we can find out about this lovely shot....

With thanks in particular today to [/photos/gnmcauley/ Niall McAuley], [/photos/38016434@N05/ Flame1958], [/photos/swordscookie/ swordscookie] and [/photos/8468254@N02/ derangedlemur] it is confirmed that this image likely dates to the summer of 1914 (probably late June). Much of this dating discussion revolved around the news posters outside Reynlod's at number 68 - and the striking headline about the "British Fleet Commanded by the Kaiser". This (seeming contemporary equivalent of clickbait :) ) related to an inspection by the Kaiser in a pre-war visit of the fleet to the German port of Kiel. The other main discussion point was the member of the Dublin Metropolician Police on apparent point-duty. Sporting collar-number D109, he was likely based at Mountjoy barracks a few hundred yards east along the NCR (still an active Garda station).....
