Hats off

Where?

Description: After the fun we had yesterday, I am very confident to present this fantastic photograph, the catalogue description is "Release of Republican Prisoners, Dun Laoghaire 1918? (Showing Dev)" the notes also point us to the bottom left of the photograph. The question is how many more can we name? Though labelled as "circa 1918" in the catalogue, the general consensus is that this is a snapshot of a 117 prisoners, most detained following the 1916 Rising, who returned to Ireland in June 1917. The contemporary descriptions of the prisoners' return (includng the headwear, somewhat disheleved suits, somewhat uncharacteristic flat cap for DeV, and rough shorn buzz cuts of the prisoners), all seem to align with what we see in this image. And what we read in its description. Thanks to sharon.corbet for the initial prompt and to BeachcomberAustralia for the corroberating reports!

Boat race, Dodder River, Rathfarnham, Co. Dublin

Description: A most unusual image today from the lens of Elinor and Reginald Wiltshire. A sports scene with rowing featuring an eight oared boat race on the River Dodder at Rathfarnham in 1954. Morning Mary is surprised that there was a sufficiently wide part of the Dodder to accomodate it and a sufficiently long stretch (2000 metres) to enable a standard boat race. Who can throw some light on the matter?

Scholars captured by the dreaded attendance officer!

Where?

Description: The dreaded School Attendance (aka Truancy) Officer was the terror of all those who might be tempted to mitch from school in years gone by. In this interesting Mason image, titled in the catalogue as "'Mitchers', four young boys, different ages, with school attendance officer and bicycle", we see a clergyman who appears to have captured a handful of young scamps. They are undoubtedly from different social circumstances : two with bare feet, two with shoes/boots, all with headgear and the big fella with a smug smile! Did they all get six of the best? The general consensus is that this image (or perhaps just its title) could be at least partially "staged". The Irish Education Act 1892, for the first time, made it compulsory for children children aged between 6 and 14 to attend school. Captured within a decade or so of that act, it seems plausible this image was used to "illustrate" the change in approach. Certainly only one of the lads looks even slightly bothered at being "caught". And, unless the chap at the back is some kind of prefect or enforcer, he seems an unlikely type :) While we have not yet established a location for this image, sissonni suggests that the successing Mason image [M56/8] was captured at the same place and time...

Eleanor Hull, full-length portrait seated in chair, in a garden with a book and a cane

Description: I like days like this, the weather is improving and there is a hint of Spring in the air. I also like photographs like this one in that I have no knowledge whatsoever of the subject and I know that by the end of the day I will have learned everything there is to learn about her.... .... And indeed I have been enlightened. This is unequivocally Eleanor Hull (1860-1935), writer, scholar and journalist. Born in the UK, she studied Irish history, language and folklore in Dublin. She was a co-founder of the Irish Texts Society and a president of the Irish Literary Society. The general consensus is that this image was likely captured in London - where she spent her later years. Perhaps in the late 1920s or early 1930s....
