Waiting for President Kennedy to drive past during his visit. O'Connell Monument, Bachelor's Walk / O'Connell Street. Dublin 1963.

A crowd gathers at the Daniel O'Connell Monument on O'Connell Street, awaiting President John F. Kennedy's motorcade during his 1963 visit to Dublin. While men in suits, overcoats, and hats observe from a bench, a group of children playfully climbs the monument’s massive stone pedestal, near its large, winged allegorical figures. The bronze statue of O'Connell presides over the bustling street, where bicycles are parked in the foreground.
