    I really like this type of stuff. The NLI site is very interesting but I find the search facility takes a bit of getting used to.

    The look on the young fellas face as he stares at the Indian. He doesn’t know but he’s just had a WTF moment.

    Need more of these – I am always looking to see if I can see any of my relatives back then – the one with the lady sitting on the ledge turning to look back is the image of my own mother.
    History is great.

    There’s a treasure trove of these kinds of photos on the NLI Flickr account https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/

    NLI used crowd sourcing to identify a lot of information about the photos in the collection.
