Description: Lots to enjoy for lovers of signs and canines. Less so for those disposed to welfare of bovines. Is this first of future rhyming headlines? Nah; to the census - to find the Considines! Based on the businesses we see here (and that of a seemingly contemporary reverse view), it's likely this image was taken closer to the end of the range in the catalogue entry (c.1910) than the start of the range. Which would put it, per [/photos/beachcomberaustralia/ beachcomberaustralia] within a few years of real-life tragedy that seemingly inspired Joyce to mention the pictured Queen's Hotel in his celebrated Ulysses:  - His father poisoned himself, Martin Cunningham whispered. Had the Queen's hotel in Ennis. You heard him say he was going to Clare. Anniversary Photographer: Robert French Collection: Lawrence Photograph Collection Date: c.1865-1914 (though likely close to end of this range, c.1910) NLI Ref: L_ROY_11350 You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie
