This is a FIRST I stand to be corrected but this is the first image from the EBLANA Collection that we have posted here. A busy image full of people, traffic and movement to delight and thrill the viewer. In this shot it is a simple image but the actual plate shows a double "uppsy downsy" (technical term) format giving the viewer twice the delight!

Great picture. If memory serves, I think the small bridge in the middle was able to swing to allow slightly taller boats and barges further up the river.

This is after 1882 when the widened and renamed ( Carlisle bridge) O'Connell Bridge was opened. The trams were fully electrified by 1901.

Great to see masted ships opposite Customs House!

Elizabeth M. Kirwan, Assistant Keeper Special Collections: Photographs / Conservation, here in Library Towers tells us the following about the Eblana Collection. We’re unsure of whether the Lawrence Eblana series was purchased by William Lawrence or his brother John Fortune Lawrence. The Eblana series consists of 2,833 glass negatives. Of this number, 2,284 are on the NLI online catalogue, with 1,890 available as digital images, and 394 as references without the digital image attached. The Eblana series consists of negatives with two identical images per plate, to facilitate speed of printing. The subject matter is generally urban and rural topography, and there are also 100 Eblana religious and comic negatives, which were produced as photographic postcards. A number of the Eblana series negatives document the Bodyke evictions in Co Clare, June 1887. The Eblana series Religious Subjects, and also the Eblana series Comic Sketches of Irish Character, would have been printed for sale as postcards for the vast and the cut-throat photographic tourist market of the late nineteenth century/early twentieth century. The Eblana series, among other collections, were also sold as lantern slide sets by the Lawrence firm.

Did the photographer take this by leaning out of a third-floor window of the Gunpowder Office?

The Tivoli Theatre in Dublin, Ireland, started life as the Conciliation Hall in 1834. Located on Burgh Quay, Dublin 2; It was built as a meeting place for Daniel O'Connell's Repeal Association. In 1897, it was rebuilt as a concert hall called the Grand Lyric Hall and changed name to the Lyric Theatre of Varieties the following year. It became known as the Tivoli in 1901

Hopkins & Hopkins (the jewelers on the corner with the awning) were commissioned to make the Sam Maguire cup for the GAA. They subbed it out to Matthew Staunton.

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/abandonedrailsireland] We looked at the Tivoli before (below) and in comments there [https://www.flickr.com/photos/johnspooner] found in Freemans Journal that the statue on top is from 1897.

No men in straw hats, I'd say we are closer to 1900 than 1905...

https://www.flickr.com/photos/gnmcauley Niall, I think it is certain that the catalogue range given (1870-1890) is incorrect. I believe they all have the same date range. The Eblana collection will be fun.
