From an edition of In Dublin Magazine.

In 1967 the Project Gallery opened in Lower Abbey Street with an exhibition of graphic works by John Behan. In 1974 the Project settled in its current location, the former site of the Dollard Printing Works on Essex Street in Temple Bar. Under the shrewd direction of John Stephenson the venue consisted of a theatre/performance space, gallery and cinema. Actors such as Gabriel Byrne and Liam Neeson developed their skills, and music came to the fore too, as U2, the Virgin Prunes and the Boomtown Rats all played here.

A colour poster for Guinness with the caption 'Black is beautiful' with a spread of pints of Guinness underneath.

This Black is Beautiful advert is one of the classic Guinness posters. Also a press advert, but known mostly as a poster, it would have featured as a full 48 sheet billboard. The glasses featured in the advert are known as Waterford tankards – the prototypes were produced by Waterford Glass, and then mass produced. They were used as the glass for draught Guinness from c. 1964 to 1982 – the first time that Guinness had designed a glass for its beer. The Waterford Tankard was replaced by a straight sided pint glass.

A black and white postcard saying 'Fianna Fáil Candidates Dublin Finglas Area' showing black and white photographs of the three candidates with their professions underneath: Bertie Ahern (Accountant), Danny Bell (Councillor), Jim Tunney (shadow minister). Signed 'My first election, June '77 Bertie Ahern'

Bertie Ahern was either an anorak-wearing man of the people or a political operator so smooth that nothing would stick to him – the Teflon Taoiseach. He resigned in 2008, giving his successor the ultimate hospital pass.
