Nous, interrègne du cahos. La mort est la fois perte d’ordre, perte de concentration et transformation d’énergie disponible en énergie non-disponible. Elle illustre les trois aspects de l’entropie. (Paul Valéry)

A girl can never have too many admirers! by National Library of Ireland on The Commons This is American model Linda Ward (O'Reilly) posing, while two local boys give her outfit the once over… Fantastically well done to derangedlemur for getting the location of this photo as Winetavern Street, given that the whole right hand streetscape is completely different today!

Ballyhooly, Co. Cork, 1991 by National Library of Ireland on The Commons This one is for those of you who've been complaining over the past few weeks about the modern photos being crowded or cluttered by cars - you know who you are, not looking at anyone in particular - well, maybe just a little! :) Taken by photographer, Patrick Connolly... You can compare this view of Ballyhooly with its companion photo 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. Date: Wednesday, 15 May 1991 at 13:15 (weather conditions - dull / cloudy) NLI Ref.: LPP_40A/13A http://flic.kr/p/chur5o

Boys will be boys! by National Library of Ireland on The Commons An Elinor Wiltshire image of three boys children taken in Cumberland Streeet in Dublin in 1969. The tousled hair, the freckles, the smiling faces and the light in the eyes are good reminders of the joy and innocence of childhood! Thanks today to BultacoFan and O Mac who helped map the location and identify the van. It seems unlikely we'll identify the occupants - not today anyway, as the nation's kid-search focus is otherwise occupied (#PintBaby). (FYI - The title for Fridays photograph came from 'Sullivans John' as sung by The Dubliners) Photographer: Elinor Wiltshire Collection: Wiltshire Photographic Collection Date: 1969 NLI Ref: WIL 55[7] You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie http://flic.kr/p/R1ciy7

Unidentified soldier of the First AIF by Australian War Memorial collection ID Number: P06003.001 Place made: Unknown The photograph was probably taken in Australia, pre-embarkation, sometime between 1915 and 1918. Featured in the Memorial's 2008 exhibition Icon and Archive, the identity of this striking-looking man is not known and the Memorial had a lot of responses from people with possible identifications, none of which have been him.
