Nelson Pillar, O'Connell Street/Earl Street (demolished 8 March 1966), Dublin 1963. Published in Quinn, Edward. James Joyces Dublin. Secker & Warburg, London 1974.
On a wet O'Connell Street in Dublin, 1963, a bus conductor stands in silhouette beside a double-decker bus. In the background, Nelson's Pillar dominates the view, a prominent landmark that would be demolished just three years after this photograph was taken. Pedestrians crowd the pavement near commercial signs, including "Lloyd's BAR," while a large "KODAK" advertisement is visible on the side of the bus. A bus stop sign in the foreground indicates routes 28-30.
