Congregation Leaving St. Mary's Pro-Cathedral, Dublin (1901)

Dublin's Catholic faithful wend their way home after Sunday service.

The very tight shot means we don't get to see much of the magnificent St Mary's cathedral, but we get so close to the densely-packed congregation that we can almost read their thoughts. The prospect of being filmed seems to cause considerable excitement and curiosity among the dignified churchgoers - from every layer of Dublin society - who glance at the camera or stand transfixed before it.
