Teatime Talk: If Ever You Go to Dublin Town: The Photography of Elinor Wiltshire

14 Henrietta Street presents Teatime Talks a series of talks inspired by the history and people of 14 Henrietta Street.

By listening and engaging with visitors, historians, experts, local people, former tenement residents and their families, we continue to uncover, record and respond to the 300 year story of 14 Henrietta Street.

Photographer Elinor Wiltshire recorded a radically changing Dublin in the 1950s and 1960s. Join photographic historian Orla Fitzpatrick for a look at this extraordinary collection, which captures fashion, design, religion, architecture, urban life and much more.

Orla Fitzpatrick is a photographic historian from Dublin. Her PhD from Ulster University explored the topic of ‘Modernism, modernity and the Irish photographic book, 1922- 1949.’ In 1998, Orla Fitzpatrick began the process of cataloguing Wiltshire's collection of 1,300 images with the National Photographic Archive. A selection of these photographs were later published in a book entitled If Ever You Go to Dublin Town.
