This collection of photographic prints forms part of the papers of Desmond FitzGerald (P80). The majority of theses photographs arise out of the Civil War but other smaller series relate to the aftermath of the Easter Rising and to the War of Independence. There are also other series of army portraits and of historical occasions photographs.

Photograph by the Topical Press Agency, London, possibly of the funeral of Arthur Griffith passing along O'Connell Street from O'Connell Bridge; a horse drawn hearse is flanked by members of the Irish Free State Army and is followed by members of the clergy and by other horse drawn vehicles; a large number of people line the street.

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 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 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.

Photograph by W.D. Hogan of a gentleman standing in the ruins of part of the Four Courts surrounded by debris and broken pillars. He is holding what is possibly the remnant of a document from the explosion in the treasury of the PRO.

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.
