Merchants Quay with The Four Courts. Dublin 1963. Car: Austin A90 Westminster

On Merchants Quay in Dublin, 1963, a powerful draft horse pulls a heavily loaded two-wheeled cart, sharing the road with mid-century motor traffic. An older man in a flat cap walks alongside the animal, while a younger man rides atop the cart’s cargo. This traditional haulage method contrasts with the surrounding automobiles, including a light-colored Austin A90 Westminster and the front of a Mini. In the background, the grand, classical dome of The Four Courts rises above the trees lining the bustling street.
