Unfocused photograph of a group of Irish Free State Army soldiers on the point of firing artillery near the Four Courts; two soldiers stand at some distance from the gun from which smoke is emitting.

The steel girders have remained largely intact.

The photograph possibly has been taken near the Munster and Leinster Bank on Sackville Street (current address: 10-11 O'Connell Street Lower, Dublin 1); the gables of other badly damaged buildings are visible in the background.

The photograph has been taken from Nelson's Pillar. Showing the façade of the GPO, with its gutted interior, silhouetted against a dark sky. Members of the public are walking by the GPO in the murky gloom, and a soldier or policeman appears to be on duty.

The two photographs have some differences in detail. Bricks have spilled out onto the street and workmen are in the process of loading them onto carts.

A man is silhouetted against the sky at the top of a ladder high on the building.

The building possibly is on Sackville Street. A telegraph pole appears to be suspended in mid-air, debris is lying at the front of the building, and the cobbled street is full of puddles.

Possibly on Sackville Street. Some of the men are working but others are scrutinising the damage; the remains of what appears to be a burned out tram are in the foreground.

The three photographs have some differences in detail. The restaurant interior has been destroyed although its façade, including decorative ironwork, appears to be largely intact; the soldiers are helping to salvage furniture. Further down the street there is even greater devastation of buildings with debris and wrecked vehicles lying around.

The two photographs have some differences in detail. The buildings possibly are on Sackville Street. The foreground contains twisted metal including the remains of a tram and a sign advertising Nestle's.

The two photographs are taken from different angles. They show dust rising from the ruins and one photograph incorporates a group of people watching the process with curiosity. A building contractor's sign has been hung on the adjacent building.

The two photographs have some differences in detail. The man is viewing the gutted interior of very badly damaged buildings, possibly in the vicinity of the GPO, the parapet of which may just be visible. The foreground is a mass of twisted girders, and a long ladder is resting on part of the building.

The two photographs have some differences in detail.

The two photographs have some differences in detail. The bridge damage is being viewed, in the rain, by onlookers. Some men are on a ladder repairing tram cables and soldiers are standing on duty.

The photograph has been taken from Henry Street. Many of the buildings on Moore Street and Henry Street have been totally demolished. Nelson's Pillar is silhouetted against the skyline.

Panorama of University College Dublin, Earlsfort Terrace, possibly with members of the Dail entering the building; a crowd has lined the street outside and policemen are on duty.

The captions reads: “The Guards - Beggars Bush - Irish Republican Army - February - 4th 1922 - The men who fought for the freedom of Ireland (the first unit of IRA in uniform)”.

The captions reads: "D Co. 1st Batt: Dublin Guards. IRA. Portobello Barracks. May 1922".

Trams are passing in front of the building on Inns Quay and people are strolling by in the foreground.

The photograph is probably by W.D. Hogan. One soldier is in the process of firing, the others stand at some distance mainly with their ears covered. (Similar photograph published in Michael Hopkinson's Green against Green (1988) with the following caption: ‘The opening shots of the Civil War, fired from Free State 18 pound field artillery supplied by the British Government. The gun was stationed at the junction of Bridge Street and Usher's Quay, just across the Liffey from the Four Courts'.

Mounted photograph by Lafayette of the officers and men of the Irish Army Equitation School.

View of the Four Courts façade across the Liffey from Merchants' Quay by W.D. Hogan. Building shows damage, mainly broken windows in the cupola. The republican flag is flying from the roof; a truck is blocking the entrance to the east courtyard.

Photograph by W.D. Hogan possibly taken from Wellington Quay of the inhabitants of Dublin viewing the Four Courts possibly after the surrender of the republicans. People line the pavement along the quay looking at the damaged building in the distance; others hurry to get a view; bicycles are parked at the kerb; a woman and her dog stroll towards O'Connell Bridge.

Panoramic view by W.D. Hogan of the Four Courts across the roof tops of Usher's Quay and Usher's Island. Smoke is billowing from the Public Record Office (not visible), partially obscuring the Four Courts; damage to the west wing is discernible; Nelson's pillar is silhouetted against the skyline to the east.(Date stamped 18 July).
