Sackville Street showing O'Connell Monument, Dublin.
This card was sent just a year before Sackville Street was renamed O'Connell Street in 1924, in honour of Daniel O'Connell, a nationalist leader of the 19th century. His statue by John Henry Foley is at the lower end of the street, facing O'Connell Bridge.
