Back to the Poole Collection today, and a portrait of a very pretty lady in “Cowgirl” dress. Commissioned by Mr. Piper of Carlow she has one of the sweetest smiles we have seen on this stream! The title on the catalogue is simply “LADY” so who was she, and is there any explanation for the Wild West gear?
Photographer: A. H. Poole
Collection: Poole Photographic Collection, Waterford
Date: ca. 24 September 1924

Fred Piper also commissioned this picture of Gentleman on the 27th of September 1924, sadly not in western get up.

Piper, hmm, wasn't there something with Piper and the Tramore amusements?
Here is a young Fred Piper in the 1911 census, his father a Steam Circus Proprietor.
And here is the record of a Fred Piper, traveller, father William, traveller, marrying Rosie Duffy, traveller, in 1928.

Ah, the source of my Deja View:
From the comments on that one:
Albert Frederick (Freddie )Piper who was married to Rosina( Rosie) Duffy,she came from a circus family, and had been an acrobat on horses
Foxglove
....quietly I hum "Cowgirl in the sand"

She might be in this shot from 1911 in Strabane as a child: flashbak.com/23-extraordinary-photos-of-circus-performers...

August 18th to 24th 1924 saw a number of cowboy sports events at Croke Park. Among those taking part were Vera McGinnis, world's champion cowgirl, trick rider and relay racer; Ruth Roche, champion cowgirl bronk rider; and Bea Kirnan, prizewinner in cowgirls' trick riding and bronk riding contests at Wembley. (Northern Whig - Saturday 02 August 1924) I wonder if she is one of these 3?

I do hope it's Ruth Roche "Ruth Roche, aflame in crimson and standing upright on her mount, galloped the length of the course, looking like nothing so much as the Winged Victory of Samothrace" (Weekly Freeman's Journal - Saturday 23 August 1924)

http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/ You might be right! Ruth's father was from Wellington Bridge in Co. Wexford, according to Irish Examiner, 4 August 1924.
