Flower staff. Nelson Pillar, GPO in the background. Dublin 1963.

In Dublin, 1963, two elderly female vendors attend their outdoor flower stall near Nelson Pillar. One, in a light headscarf, smiles gently, while her companion, wearing a dark beret and glasses, offers an expressive gaze. Bouquets of gladioli and chrysanthemums are arranged in repurposed popcorn tins on a rustic cart. An empty apple box lies on the wet pavement, suggesting a damp day, with the grand colonnade of the General Post Office visible in the background.
