O'Connell St View from Nelson's Pillar (demolished 8 March 1966). Dublin 1963.

Taken from Nelson's Pillar in 1963, just three years before its demolition, this high-angle view captures the bustling life of Dublin's O'Connell Street. The wide thoroughfare is dense with mid-century cars and double-decker buses, its central median filled with diagonally parked vehicles. Grand, classical buildings, one flying the Irish tricolor, are lined by crowded sidewalks. In the distance, the O'Connell Monument punctuates the cityscape, set against a hazy mountain range on the horizon.
