The Strand, Ballinskelligs, Kerry, 1990

Taken by photographer, Horst Becher, who noted that many houses had been built in the area since the original Lawrence photo was taken...You can compare this view of Ballinskelligs with its companion photo ( nlireland/7787237778 ) taken approximately 100 years earlier as part of the Lawrence Photographic Project 1990/1991, where one thousand photographs from the Lawrence Collection in the National Library of Ireland were replicated a hundred years later by a team of volunteer photographers, thereby creating a record of the changing face of the selected locations all over Ireland...For further information on the Lawrence Photographic Project, read all about it on our NLI Blog ( 2012/04/13/then-then-and-now-photographic-projects/ ) ...Date: Tuesday, 16 October 1990 at 12:00 (weather conditions - bright, some clouds)..NLI Ref.: LPP_42/7 ( vtls000354828 )
