Photograph of an exterior view of the Bank of Ireland, formerly the Irish Houses of Parliament, and a sculpture of the Irish poet Thomas Moore (1779-1852).

A carbon copy is adhered on top of the original albumen print. Carbon prints are more stable compared to albumen prints, the latter prone to fading. Carbon copies were therefore created for posterity.
