1931 Sketch of Matt Talbot by Seán Dixon
1931 Sketch of Matt Talbot by Seán Dixon
IE LMOD 575 · Stuk · Twentieth Century

Colour pastel portrait of Matt Talbot by Sean DIxon.

Seán Dixon completed this sketch after the Oblate Fathers in Inchicore commissioned him to paint a portrait of Matt Talbot. Regarded as the Patron Saint of dipsomaniacs, Talbot was an alcoholic until a sudden and permanent reformation at 28. After taking a vow of abstinence, the Dublin labourer devoted the rest of his life to work and prayer, leading a harsh ascetic existence of self-deprivation and punishment. When he was found dead on a Dublin street in 1925, Talbot’s body was covered in chains that must have caused acute pain. A statue of the pious northsider can be found next to the city’s Talbot Memorial Bridge.

1993 Tom McGinty as the Not So Laughing Cavalier, Dame Street
IE LMOD 625 · Stuk · Twentieth Century

A colour photograph of Tom McGinty dressed as a cavalier in a frame with the caption 'the not so laughing cavalier' and with bare legs below the frame.

Thom McGinty, better known as the Diceman, was a street performer in the 1980s and early 1990s. He came to Ireland in 1976 to work as a model. The name Diceman came from a shop that sold role-playing games. In the 1980s and early 1990s, McGinty became well-known for performances on Grafton Street where he would sometimes work as a mime artist or would otherwise perform in costume, advertising the shop. He is pictured here as the Not So Laughing Cavalier. McGinty was diagnosed with HIV in 1990 and died in 1995.
