Charles Cushman’s Dublin – Grafton Street, 1961

Grafton Street 1960s

Charles Cushman was an enthusiastic amateur photographer

Cushman made a visit to Dublin in 1961. On his death he bequeathed 14,500 photos to his alma mater, the University of Indiana.

Grafton Street was named after Henry FitzRoy, 1st Duke of Grafton, the illegitimate son of Charles II. The street was developed from a country lane by the Dawson family in 1708. Today it feels like a bland British high street.

Trinity College takes up most of the background in this photo, with buses passing – College Green is still a bottleneck. The pedantic modern mind notes the absence of lane markings and traffic islands.
