This is like watching tumblr in the 1900s would have been like No kidding, I love it. I do agree with dexotaku though.

Love the images .. but dispute the copyright claim. These images should be fully in the public domain. Scans are not derivative works.

Hi Chris, I think at least a couple of the photos were not taken in Dublin but in Rhyl in north Wales.The child on pram and the Punch and Judy shots both show the buildings on the east and west parade in the background,the girl on the bike shows what appears to be the pier entrance on Rhyl prom entrance booths (shape of windows)flag poles (but could be somewhere else I suppose).

Regards Trevor

These look so candid for the time. Like someone had mentioned earlier, they have have this uncanny “snap-shot quality.” I’m not used to seeing old b&w photos where subjects aren’t stiffly posed. How did this photographer do it? I didn’t know they had film that fast back then. At first, many shots seem amateur; like someone who’s gotten their first drugstore instant camera but with them come these accidental(?) moments of genius. The “woman on the wall” looks, for a fleeting second, a Victorian Venus di Milo.
