Summary[edit]

Description

Since few noticed my gaffe suggesting that Thursday was the end of the week I won't mention it today! This bright, sunny looking shot taken in Ballsbridge is Friday's offering from the NLI. Tram lines, overhead power lines, boys walking along the centre of the road and elegant ladies on the sidewalk - each may perhaps be some help in establishing the date(?)

With thanks to the eagle eyes of [/photos/gnmcauley/ Niall McAuley] and [/photos/79549245@N06/ DannyM8], who deciphered the headlines on the newsagent poster, it seems we can confidently date this to 1914. Apparently the poster covers the headlines of Tuesday 4 August 1914: "England and the War / Sir Edmund Grey's Statement / Navy to Protect French North Coast". Suggesting that the paper in the hands of the lady on the left could contain news of the early days of World War I. The drama unfolding elsewhere contrasts the apparent business-as-usual activities of this Eason collection shot....
