The car, 1844. Special seat in which nationalist politician Daniel O'Connell was conveyed through the streets of Dublin, Ireland, after his release from prison. 'At length Mr. O'Connell...[was] seen ascending the triumphal car; and then came forth a shout, so loud, so long, so vehement, and so enthusiastic, that even the man of firmest nerve must for the moment have felt himself shaken by it'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I.
