Image: Back of the Rotunda Hospital in Dublin
Description: Uploaded a cropped version of this photo at 9.05 this morning, and delighted to say that MKSeery identified it very quickly as the back of the Rotunda Hospital in Dublin. However we could do with some help on the date - perhaps details like the tennis court might help here? Niall McAuley provided a gorgeous link to the OSI Historic 25" maps showing the gardens and tennis court that appear in this photograph. FXRDublin gives 1888-1913 as the date for the OSI 25" historic map showing the tennis court. Date: Circa 1890s?? NLI Ref.: L_CAB_02257 From the NLI catalogue: Rotunda Hospital, Dublin City, Co.
