To celebrate the day the whole world is Irish, here are some images of Dublin and environs from the turn of the 20th Century, posted recently on Flickr by The Library of Congress.

Also, Flickrers are posting fun Then & Now shots.
The O'Connell Street Bridge looks similar to today with the O'Connell Monument there. Of course, the conveyances are different. I didn't realize the bridge was so wide back then – the British shot up the Post Office , which is two blocks down on the left, from gunboats on the Liffey in the 1917(?) Uprising – I guess on the right side of this bridge.
Beautiful Ireland. I love the old pics.
