Nelson Pillar, O'Connell Street/Earl Street (demolished 8 March 1966), Dublin 1963.
A low-angle view captures Dublin's Nelson Pillar against a dramatic sky in 1963. The fluted stone column on O'Connell Street is crowned by a statue of Admiral Horatio Nelson standing on a plinth above a railed viewing platform. The high-contrast composition emphasizes the texture of the stonework and the moody atmosphere. This monument was demolished on March 8, 1966, just three years after this photograph was taken.
