Dubliners studying at the National Library. Dublin 1963.
In the grand, circular reading room of the National Library in Dublin, 1963, patrons are absorbed in their studies. Light from tall, arched windows floods the space, illuminating the high, domed ceiling and a decorative white frieze of cherubs. Below, curved walls are lined with towering, dark bookshelves. Dubliners, dressed in mid-century attire, sit at individual wooden desks arranged in radiating rows, each furnished with a small lamp and a slanted book stand, contributing to the room's scholarly atmosphere.
