Written out of history

This is a fantastic Lawrence image of the O'Connell Monument, on what was then Sackville Street in Dublin. But what's fascinating is the excision of the two characters who were obviously taking their ease on the steps of the plinth...
Wanted to date this accurately, and was hoping that the shops on the left (Elvery's Elephant, etc.) would help us to do that. The monument was unveiled in 1882. From staining on the steps, it looks as if it'd been in situ for a while. I started the bidding at 1885, but see below comments for a tour de force example of dating detective work, especially from MKSeery.
Date: 1889-1892

My that’s big. Here are the notes I took on my phone during a tour at SLAC. That’s Steven Kahn, deputy director of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) speaking:
It has 200 4K*4K pixel sensors, costing 0k each.
f/1.23 lens
Very wide: 40x the field of view of the moon in the sky.
It will collect 30TB of data per night, over 10 years of continuous operation, we will see everything that is moving.
Will see 4B of 100 B galaxies, about one per person on earth.
We will see the weak gravitational lensing effect of dark matter.
We can track near earth objects and the asteroids’ trajectory back to their formation.
Currently under construction in Chile, with first light in Jan 2018 if funded. Gates and Simonyi funded the main mirror.
