People walking on Westmoreland Street

An unusual photograph this morning from the delightful Clarke Collection of people just walking and hanging around in Westmoreland Street in Dublin. Imagine the stares the toff in the top hat might attract today were he to walk along the same street? Look at the hats and dresses of the ladies? A wonderful example of early street photography in action!...Photographers: J. J.
