The Irish Louvain

Where?

Description: While we didn’t manage to identify yesterday’s military man, today we know the where, the when, and the why. The burning of the centre of Cork city by Crown forces in 1920 was a monstrous act of vandalism. This fine Hogan-Wilson photograph gives some idea of the scale and the devastation inflicted! Just to remind people that there is an important exhibition of photographs from this period in Irish history showing in the National Photographic Archive, Meeting House Square, Dublin entitled “From Turmoil to Truce” Photographer: W. D. Hogan Collection: Hogan Wilson Collection Date: Circa 13 December 1920 NLI Ref.: HOGW 100 You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie

Lying out for the wake.

Where?

Description: Today we have a photograph of a man "laid out" in other words who has died and is in his coffin/bed while his friends, relatives and admirers come to pay their last respects. For some reason I think that this is a clergyman though in those days most people were dressed in a "habit" when they were being buried. It probably also means that the traditional Irlsh Wake was not going to have quite the same vigour as most! What can we find out about him and how is he an Irish Political figure?

Drawing (allegedly), unidentified building (definitely).

Description: Back on terra firma today, but we don't know where this building, described in our catalogue as "Drawing, unidentified building" was (or maybe still is). In Ireland or 'out foreign'?

A bit early for Bloomsday?

Where?

Description: Bloomsday 16 June 1954, has been illustrated before by the Wiltshire Collection, but this shot was taken indoors with two named personalities. The significance of Con Leventhal and Michael Scott escapes me. But I am sure the many Joyce scholars out there can enlighten me... The general consensus is that this image captures Abraham "Con" Levanthal (academic and literary critic), Michael John Scott (architect and one-time Abbey actor) and Patricia Scott (TCD grad and wife of Scott). All of whom would have been very familiar with Joyce's works and the art world in Dublin in general....

"Intelligence" photograph from 1921

Where?

Description: This is a very unusual image and clearly one that was used to identify police and military figures for future reference. A line of people stand in honour of a funeral or some form of remembrance. And while the photographer, perhaps unintentionally, captures their image it is later used to identify them. Who might have been privy to such information and why might it have been used?

Belfast: 'Evolution of Lighting: Ireland'. Gas Works, mechanical stoker and drawer

Where?

Description: Advances in science and technology to start this week with public lighting evolving in Belfast. After the eons during which lighting was by candle or taper moving over to gas lighting must have seemed to be a revolutionary advance? Whether an incremental or exponential advance, this mechanical stoker device must have allowed a LOT more coke and coal to be fed and maintained in these numerous furnaces. While it must've put at least a few chaps out of work, one imagines their lungs (and backs) were better off at least......
