Travellers near Stillorgan. Dublin 1963.
On a suburban road near Stillorgan, Dublin, in 1963, a group of Travellers journey with their horse-drawn carts. An open two-wheeled cart in the foreground is crowded with women and children, drawn by a pair of light-colored horses. Following behind, a man and a boy sit at the front of a traditional barrel-topped wagon, or vardo, pulled by a piebald horse. The scene, marked by overhead power lines and a low brick wall, captures a traditional mode of transport intersecting with a modernising landscape.
