Summary

Description

While the cataloguer has focused on the junction of Kildare St. and Nassau St, it is likely that the photographer's main subject was the building in the centre of the shot, the Kildare Street Club. Whatever attracted Mr. French to the club, at least the car and light standard may be of assistance in dating the image(?) I suspect the wet road will be of no assistance in the dating though, as it undoubtedly rained more than once in Dublin that year :)

The consensus, based on the vehicle (taxi cab?) registration and other cues is that French may have captured this view close to the year of his retirement, c.1914. (Though certainly between c.1911 [earliest date for car reg] and c.1923 [latest date for lamps].)

Photographer: Robert French

Collection: Lawrence Photograph Collection

Date: Catalogue range c.1880-1900. Though more likely c.1914
