Notes

"Sylvester Moore Junior, taken when an old man"

"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.
