Mr Roberts, M.P., British Minister for Pensions enjoying a drive on a jaunting car around St. Stephens' Green. Photograph by W.D. Hogan, 9th December 1924. Roberts is at the right, holding the umbrella. Long after the hansom cab disappeared from London streets the jaunting car was still such an institution in Irish cities that even visiting dignitaries would perch on them for photo opportunities. Frederick Owen Roberts (1876-1941) served on the British delegation to the ill-fated boundary commission that was set up in 1924 to define the border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Free State.
