Their wideopen eyes looked at him.
- No suffering, he said. A moment and all is over. Like dying in sleep.
No-one spoke." (U6.308)

"Under the patronage of the late Father Mathew." (U6.319)
Father Theobald Mathew (1790 - 1856) was a capuchin friar from Cork. He founded, in 1838, the Total Abstinence Society, a moral crusade that rapidly spread throughout Ireland, to reach England and Scotland; some 7 million people 'took the pledge' of abstinence during Father Matthew's time. On this PC, the legend states "Statue of Father Mathew, Dublin. The Great Apostle of Temperance in the Habit of the Capuchin Order." It was unveiled in 1893, and was the work of Irish sculptor Miss Mary Redmond. Coming up behind the statue is the Gresham Hotel (the building with the flag).

"Foundation stone for Parnell. Breakdown. Heart." (U6.320)
The foundation stone for a monument to Parnell was laid in 1899. This later PC shows Upper Sackville street with the Parnell Monument in place. It is a bronze statue on a pillar of granite designed by artist Augustus Saint-Gaudens. It was unveiled, after much controversy and multiple delays, in 1911.

"White horses with white frontlet plumes came round the Rotunda corner, galloping." (U6.321)
'The Rotunda' refers to the maternity hospital originally known as 'The Dublin Lying-In Hospital' founded in 1745. First located in George's Lane, it was moved to its present location in 1757 where it became known as the Rotunda because one of its wings, as seen on this PC, was a circular building.

In this PC we see the main buidling of the Rotunda from the back. The Rotunda is the oldest continuously operating maternity hospital in the world. It is estimated that over 300,000 babies have been born there. The first caesarean section in Ireland was performed at the Rotunda in 1889.
On this later PC, we see the Rotunda proper. This round building was initially the dining room of the maternity hospital. It also served as public meeting rooms, and was rented out for concerts and balls. Since 1928, it houses the Gate theater (here playing the 1926 movie The Sea Beast). Next to the Rotunda we see the Parnell monument; notice that the statue of Parnell is at street level, in contrast to Nelson's pillar where the statue is atop.
