EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Dublin on a fateful day in 1971. Standing proudly on the banks of the iconic river Liffey, we are confronted with an unexpected architectural feature - a pissoir. The image, captured by H. J. Allen, exudes a sense of nostalgia and curiosity. In this portrait format, devoid of any human presence, our attention is solely focused on this peculiar structure that once served as a public urinal. Its simplicity and functionality are juxtaposed against the grandeur of its surroundings; it stands as a testament to both Irish architecture and art. The monochromatic palette adds depth to the photograph, emphasizing every intricate detail etched into its surface. The absence of color allows us to appreciate the raw beauty inherent in this urban artifact. As we gaze upon this archival piece from 1971, we cannot help but ponder about its significance within Dublin's cultural landscape during that time period. It serves as a reminder that even mundane elements can become symbols of history when viewed through an artistic lens. This print transports us back in time while simultaneously inviting us to reflect upon how cities evolve over decades. It captures not only an architectural feature but also echoes whispers from Ireland's past - whispers carried by the gentle flow of the River Liffey itself.
