Graiguenamangh, County Kilkenny

A view of Lower Main Street in Graiguenamangh, County Kilkenny, in about 1905. The image was probably taken (or acquired) by Fr. Angelus Healy OFM Cap. (1873-1953), a Capuchin friar who was a native of Graiguenamangh. A horse drawn carriage (called a ‘brake’) can be seen carrying passengers on the right of the road. These were extensively used in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as a means of public transport and conveyance. Going in the opposite direction is what appears to be some sort of parade of horses and jockeys (in apparently elaborate silks).

Grand Parade, Cork

A view of the Grand Parade, the widest street in Cork. The ornate pillared-building seen in the background is Queen’s Old Castle, a Victorian-era building and one of the city’s oldest department stores.

Great Blasket Island (An Bhlascaod Mór)

A view of Great Blasket Island (An Bhlascaod Mór) off the coast of County Kerry in about 1945. An annotation on the reverse of the print reads ‘Great Blasket Island, County Kerry, to the right in the photograph is Tearaught Island [Tearaght Island or Inishtearaght]’. The image is credited to Emmet Humphreys, Blackrock, County Dublin.
