View from Nelson's Pillar (now demolished). Dublin 1963.

From the observation deck of the now-demolished Nelson's Pillar, a solitary figure looks out over a bustling Dublin avenue in 1963. Seen from behind, the woman wears a light-colored overcoat and headscarf, her view of the mid-century cityscape framed by the heavy wire mesh of a safety cage. Below, cars and pedestrians populate the wide, tree-lined street, and part of a coin-operated binocular viewer is visible in the foreground.
