Scope and content
A postcard print image of a large crowd assembled on O’Connell Bridge in Dublin. The caption to the original postcard image (printed by Chancellor Photographic Studio) reads ‘Irish Language Procession, September 19, 1909’. In the background of the print, the statue of William Smith O’Brien (1803-1864), a nationalist politician and Irish language activist, stands in its original position near the junction of O’Connell Bridge with Westmoreland Street and D’Olier Street. It was moved to its present location on O’Connell Street in 1929.
