Café en Seine Collection
Title
Café en Seine Collection
Description
This collection of six albums of Irish photographic negatives were taken by an as-of-yet unidentified photographer in the 1920s, and provide a fascinating insight into the social history of Ireland at the time.
The full collection, obtained in an auction of items from Dublin's iconic Café en Seine, includes many views from Cork, Galway, and other Irish counties.
The albums were fully indexed, catalogued and dated by the photographer, and the celluloid negatives themselves each measure 4.25 inches by 3.25 inches.
