Waiting for President Kennedy to drive past during his visit. O'Connell Monument, Bachelor's Walk / O'Connell Street. Dublin 1963.
A crowd of men, women, and children gathers at the O'Connell Monument on Dublin's O'Connell Street, awaiting the passing of President John F. Kennedy's motorcade in 1963. To gain a better vantage point, some have climbed onto the laps and wings of the monument’s large allegorical figures. Dressed in mid-century attire, the spectators look intently towards the street, one man raising a camera to his eye. In the background, a rooftop sign for "Gold Flake" cigarettes is visible above a partially seen "AER LINGUS" sign.
