"Sylvester Moore Junior, taken when an old man"

"At post, back in"

"The Dublin Spectacle House. Dixon & Hempenstall, late of Yeates & Son.
Opticians, photographic dealers, spectacles. 12 Suffolk Street, Dublin.
4 doors from Grafton Street"

 

The original was probably made around 1855-1856.
The copy could've been made in 1857.
In the back was an advertisement by Dixon & Hempenstall,
who first set up shop in 1902 and sold photographic items.
