The destruction following the Easter Rising in Dublin, 1916

Photograph, Ireland, Easter Rebellion (1916-1922), 1916.

This probably depicts Sackville Street (now O'Connell Street), where the General Post Office (GPO) building was situated. Leading members of the rebels' Provisional Government held out at the GPO during the violence. Many adjacent buildings were damaged in the fighting and by shell fire from a British gun boat at nearby Eden Quay.
