Evelyn Hofer's photographs of Dublin in the 1960's

Below are some photographs of Dublin in the 1960's taken by the German-American photographer Evelyn Hofer.

They appeared in ‘Dublin: A Portrait’ by V. S. Pritchett, a renowned travel writer and short story writer who visited Ireland in the 1960's and met with Sean O'Casey and WB Yeats during which Yeats brandished a tea pot in a rage about Shaw.
