Dublin in the Summer 1961: A Vibrant Photographic Journey Through the Heart of Ireland’s Capital City

In the summer of 1961, Dublin was a city full of life and energy. US tourist Charles Weaver Cushman visited and captured its beauty with his Kodachrome camera. His vibrant photos show a different time in Dublin, filled with color and charm.

Cushman arrived in a city that was still recovering from the effects of World War II. The streets were bustling with people going about their daily lives. Traditional shops lined the roads, with signs written in both English and Irish. You could see locals chatting, children playing, and street vendors selling their goods.
