Kilmainham Gaol; Dublin, Ireland
Execution site of James Connolly. Mr. Connolly, sentenced to death, was already suffering tremendously from wounds due to fighting doctors gave him only a day or two to survive. Regardless of this, he was taken to Kilmainham Gaol by ambulance, brought in on a stretcher, tied to a chair as he was too weak to stand on his own, and was executed by firing squad. His death caused much uproar and controversy.
The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale that was published by Cordonnerie Hirsch of 122, Boulevard Voltaire, Paris. Interestingly, 'cordonnerie' is French for shoe repairer.
The card was posted in France using a 10c. stamp on Sunday the 31st. December 1911 to:
Monsieur et Madame W. Wetter,
67, Grafton Way,
Fitzroy Square,
Londres,
Angleterre.
The message on the divided back was as follows:
"Dear Friends,
31/12/11.
Thanks for card and your
wishes. We hope you have
spent a jolly time at No. 74
Ch. St. and elsewhere, and
now wish everything you
would like for 1912, your
health especially.
Please remember us to all
kind friends, not forgetting
your boss.
Sincerely yours,
J. Kelsie."
A New Calendar in China
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 31st. December 1911, China's National Assembly voted to begin using the "Western calendar" to replace the traditional Chinese lunar calendar used by the Emperor.
Full use was to begin on the 1st. January 1912, which was declared as the "The first day of the first month of the first year of the Republic of China." It was also the 13th. day of 11th. month of the 4,609th. year of the traditional calendar.
Multiple Executions in Tabriz
Also on that day, Russian troops, occupying the Persian city of Tabriz, carried out the execution of Shiite Muslim cleric Mirza Ali Aqa Tabrizi.
After the conclusion of the Tabriz Siege by Russian forces, a conflict between the Russian forces and the revolutionaries broke out on the 21st. December 1911.
The Russians insisted that Mirza should sign a letter confirming the responsibility of revolutionaries in starting the conflict. He refused, and Russians hanged him. Mirza was 50 years of age when he died.
Mirza, who was born on the 19th. January 1861 in Tabriz, Iran, saw democratic freedom and liberty as God's special gift. He said:
"This freedom is like that which the
benevolent creator offered to the
sons of Israel to free them from
Pharaoh."
He saw freedom of the press and of personal expression as the instruments for obeying the Quranic command of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil.
12 other Iranian nationalists were also executed on the same day by hanging, in retaliation for their opposition to the Russian invasion.
The Russians continued to kill the constitutional revolutionaries of Tabriz and their relatives en masse, and many civilians of Tabriz as well. The total number of executions is estimated to have been about 1,200.
Missouri State Penitentiary, Jefferson City Missouri. May 27th 2016.
The small building that houses the Missouri gas chamber was built in 1937. The airtight chamber was first installed on the concrete slab and the building was then built around it. Some of the construction was performed by convicts and the stone used was quarried by convicts from the prison quarry. Ironically, one of the the convicts executed here (Robert West) had helped construct this building during an earlier incarceration.
The information that you find online states that the building has two rooms. I don't know when this changed, but that is no longer correct. There are now three entrances to the building. Two in the front and one on the side. One of the front entrances leads to a room that has the door to the gas chamber and there is a room off to the side of that where the various chemicals and/or drugs were prepared. The other door on the front leads to a room with bleacher seats and viewing windows that was for family members of the victims' who wished to view the execution. The door on the side leads to a room that also has a viewing window and was for members of the convict's family.
Over the years forty people were executed here. 39 men and one woman. The first 39 were killed using hydrogen cyanide gas. John Brown was the first recipient in 1938 and in 1965 Llyod L. Anderson was the last. In 1989 George Mercer was executed here using lethal injection.
After an execution using hydrogen cyanide, the gas was vented to the outside through a tall pipe coming out of the roof of the building. Before this would be done, nearby guard towers had to be evacuated and precautions also had to be taken in the neighborhoods near the prison.
It marks the place of execution of a Covenanter who was charged with having been engaged in the battle of Bothwell Bridge.

Execution Dock was used as a hanging site for over 400 years, and acted as visible warning and deterrent to other seafarers who would pass through the area.
The executioners would not cut down the bodies after hanging but instead the custom was to leave them until at least three tides had flowed over their heads.
The last executions to take place there were in December 1830, where two men who had been charged with piracy met their fate.
Nobody knows the exact location of Execution Dock, but it is believed to be near the site of the Prospect of Whitby pub, where a noose now hangs from the back to commemorate the dock.

(outlaw torn is adjacent to No Salvation and if my draw distance had been set to further out, you'd see the Cathedral in the background. I couldn't do that though, because then you'd see the huge platforms in the sky, where the ballroom is located. I wish those platforms would be set above the maximum draw distance, so photographers aren't bothered by the sight of the sky platforms!)
Fragments of an Equestrian statue of Nero
These fragments of an equestrian statue probably represent Nero. The execution tinged with a certain pathos reflects a sensibility that was different to that of the classical-style portraits of the Julio-Claudian family. It also reveals the origins of the work, which was found in Asia Minor, as well as the absolutist tendencies of the reign of Nero, who craved an imperial role like that of the Hellenistic monarchs.
Description
Fragments of an equestrian statue
The equestrian group was a mode of representation created in Greece and adopted in Rome. Equestrian statues of the emperor emphasized his role as commander-in-chief of the armies. The Louvre holds fragments of a large statue of this type.
The left arm, lost below the biceps, was cast separately and was probably fitted into some sculpted drapery. The left hand held the reins. The work is executed in a naturalistic manner; the artist paid special attention to the rendering of the muscles and veins. The head with its fleshy proportions is turned to the left. Thick hair with full, wavy locks tops a face whose eyes and parted lips impart a highly expressive appearance and a rather brutal sensuality.
A vestige of the damnatio memoriae
The identity of the figure represented in this work has been disputed. The particular arrangement of the slighly parted bangs favors the hypothesis that it is a prince of the Julio-Claudian family. There is general agreement on the name of Nero, by comparison with coin portraits, though on the coins he does not wear this hair style. Further comparison with other portraits of the sovereign would enable this probable identity to be confirmed; but Nero's excesses led the Senate, after his suicide in AD 68, to condemn his portraits to "damnatio memoriae," that is, to destruction and oblivion. Therefore, only a few remnants remain of the images of this emperor - some portraits of him as a child, and statues saved from destruction by their geographical distance (perhaps the case of these fragments found in Turkey).
Memory of the Hellenistic kings
This portrait marks a break with the classical-style treatment of Julio-Claudian works. The face remains idealized, but with a note of pathos foreign to Augustian moderation: on the contrary, the sharp movement of the head, the movement in the hair and the facial expressiveness hark back to the traditional Hellenistic royal portrait.
These stylistic elements, which reflect an enduring baroque sensibility in Asia Minor, are well suited to a representation of Nero, whose political ideology they highlight. Fascinated by Greek civilization, the prince sought to infuse the role of emperor with the absolutism of the Hellenistic monarchies.
