The Five Lamps. Dublin 1963.
In Dublin, 1963, the ornate cast iron structure known as The Five Lamps is captured from a low angle against a blue sky. Its five glass lanterns, each crowned with a decorative metal crest, are accompanied by bilingual directional signs. In Irish Gaelic and English, they point toward City Centre, Amiens Street, Fairview, and Howth. The surrounding urban landscape features red-tiled terraced houses with a forest of television aerials and, to the right, a distinctive brick building with a rounded corner turret.
