Girls selling badges for St Patrick's Day. O'Connell Bridge. Dublin 1963.

On Dublin's O'Connell Bridge in 1963, two young girls sell handmade rosettes for a Gaelic sports match. One leans pensively against the stone parapet, her board displaying supporters' favors for teams including "DUBLIN" and "GALWAY." Her companion, wearing a headscarf, has her ribbons pinned to a repurposed H.M.V. record player box slung around her neck. In a candid moment, they wait for customers, their serious expressions captured against the backdrop of the city and the River Liffey.
