Summary[edit]

Description

This fine view of the rear of Dublin Castle and the facade of the State Apartments by Robert French keeps us in Dublin city for yet another day! Very little has changed in this scene in the intervening 100+ years.

The main learning today - for myself anyway - was that the lawn pictured was the original site of the "Black Pool" or "Dubh Linn" - from which the city gets its name. As Béarla ar ndóigh. That is, according to the article and illustration which [/photos/gnmcauley/ Niall McAuley] links us to. As per the contemporary views which [/photos/bultacofan/ BultacoFan] and [/photos/beachcomberaustralia/ Beachcomber] provide, while changed significantly in the centuries before this image, it has not changed much since....
