O'Connell Street. Royal Bank of Ireland. View from Nelson's Pillar. Dublin 1963.

From atop Nelson's Pillar, this high-angle view captures Dublin's bustling O'Connell Street in 1963. The facade of The Royal Bank of Ireland stretches diagonally across the frame, its uniform windows contrasting with the varied storefronts opposite, including the Pillar Cafe and a hall with a prominent blue 'BINGO' sign. A public weighing scale stands on the pavement, busy with pedestrians in mid-century attire whose long, dark shadows suggest a low sun.
