Description
Photographs of Dublin taken by Nevill Johnson between 1952 and 1953.
Nevill Johnson (1911-1999), painter and photographer, was an English born Irish artist. His photographs of Dublin during the period 1952 to 1953 stand apart from his previous artistic output in paint form. These evocative photographs capture the ‘unofficial’ Dublin of its inhabitants. Images of tenements, markets, shops and children’s street games, provide a valuable social record of the everyday lives of ordinary Dubliners at the time.
Nevill Johnson’s full collection of photography is held at RTÉ Archives and has been made available to view online.
