The River Liffey. View from O'Connell Bridge: Butt Bridge, the Loop Line railroad Bridge above and just behind it, the Custom House in the background and the Liberty Hall skyscraper. Dublin 1963.
Viewed from Dublin's O'Connell Bridge in 1963, pedestrians in mid-century attire stroll along the wide pavement. The River Liffey flows between its stone quays, spanned in the distance by Butt Bridge and the Loop Line railroad Bridge. The eye is drawn towards the background, where the classical dome of the Custom House contrasts with the modern framework of the Liberty Hall skyscraper, then under construction. Along the right bank, cars are parked near buildings bearing signs such as "SCOTCH HOUSE," while a blurred poster for the Dublin Theatre Festival occupies the foreground.
