Donnybrook Fair

This image was originally published in the The Dublin Penny Journal and appeared in Weston St. John Joyce's book The Neighbourhood of Dublin. It gives us a good impression of what the fair was like. On the left-had side, we can see what appears to be a fight taking place.

Dodo

Dodos were unique to the island of Mauritius and had become extinct by the late 17th century. This example was acquired by the Royal Irish Academy following an excavation in 1865 in a marshy area of Mauritius which led to the recovery of a small number of Dodo skeletons. It is now located in the Natural Histroy Museum in Dublin.

Beginning in 1987 much of this area has become the most extensive re-development zone in Dublin City.
