A fascinating view of the Artane Schools with an early iteration of the iconic band on display. The Musical Director appears to be front and centre and many of the typical band instruments are on display but I don't think those cellos and that double bass will be a success in Croke Park any day soon?
Photographer: Robert French
Collection: Lawrence Photograph Collection
Date: Catalogue range c.1865-1914. Before 1908 (clock/pediment)

I think there are a couple of early sousaphones there. They were invented in 1893 - earliest date?! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sousaphone

This is an interesting photo, photographically-speaking. There is a bit of distortion in the lens and the camera is not level. And, I wonder why the Photographer did not crop the photo to eliminate the periphery? Anyone know what camera, Robert French had used? So, each of your photos are very important, put into historical context, but they are also important considering early photography, cameras, photographc medium and developing technique, and the lenses, of that period.

In 1993, via https://www.flickr.com/photos/93373926@N04/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/93373926@N04/36688063753/The building seems to have acquired a central pediment and clock since Mr French's photo. This place does not have a happy history. I hesitate to open the can of worms.

2 entries in the DIA, construction from 1871, and wordk from 1908. Clock maybe added in 1908?

Mr Harry Lowe was the conductor of the band in 1900 for a visit by Queen Victoria. I wonder if that is him at centre stage. trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/104659560?searchTerm=a...

While this school has a sad history, it always is associated with an amusing incident for me. A group of us were walking to Croke Park in 1974 and not being too familiar with Dublin, a dispute broke out as to which was the best route to take. One of our group had played for his county in his youth and in order to have his opinion vindicated announced “ look, I’ve played in Croke Park”. One of the best and fastest retorts ever heard came back from another member of our group. “God John, I never knew you were in the Artane Boys Band”.

What the heck? Did Charlie Chaplin attend Artane? and what did he do to achieve centre stage?

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/beachcomberaustralia] searching some info on the school I was directed to the Child Abuse Commission, it does not make good reading. I think the report should be highlighted in any story about St. Joseph's Industrial School, Artane. See the report here

There is a picture here with a drawing of the building in 1904 - no clock.
