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.

Photograph by W.D. Hogan of a small group of Irish Free State Army soldiers adopting defensive positions at the verge of a country road facing the hedgerow; others are taking up position beside a truck further along the road; two other men at the side of the road wear civilian dress and are crouching down out of the line of fire.

Photograph by W.D. Hogan of two Irish Free State Army soldiers crouched in firing position with rifles pointed; they are positioned in a street beside an alley way.

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.

Photograph of a group of people, mainly children, standing in front of a wooden hut. A number of the children look unhappy although a few have managed to grin at the photographer; some of the children are barefoot. A second copy of the photograph has been touched up in pen perhaps to define it better for publication.

Photograph by W.D. Hogan of the front porch of an imposing building which has been heavily fortified with sandbags; an Irish Free State Army soldier is standing on guard; three others are peeping over the sandbags.

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.
