Print your own metal nameplate. Sandymount Tower. Dublin 1963.

At Sandymount Tower in Dublin, 1963, two children pose beside a vintage machine offering to “PRINT YOUR OWN METAL NAMEPLATE.” A girl with a pensive expression rests her arm on the ornate, cast-iron device, while a boy leans against the rough-hewn granite wall of a nearby snack shop. Made by The British Automatic Company Ltd., the machine stands on four cabriole legs, its sign advertising ten letters for one penny. Bright sunlight casts sharp shadows across the sidewalk scene.
