How the arrest was reported in the Oxford Journal on 26th May 1798

The tram electricity pole should hint at an earliest date ... When was Edward Thomas Street plugged in ?

beachcomber australia Before 1907, thank you.

According to a letter in The Irishman on 29th November 1873 from Dr R. R. Madden, author of The History of the United Irishmen, Lord Edwad Fitzgerald's bedroom, where the fcuffle took place, was on the second floor fronting the street.

Spooky Alert ! I think I see "1904" in chalk graffiti, on No. 150, just to the right of the polished drainpipe, at about chest height. There is a more obvious "2" on the left of the pipe at the same level. Most of the other chalked graffiti seems to be wiped. See megazoom™

"The Servant In the House." presented at the Belasco Theater last night by Henry Miller's Associate Players, a dramatic organisation par excellence, introduced to Washington a new playwright, Charles Rann Kennedy

"As the play opens, Manson, an Indian servant, who has arrived at the clergyman's house that morning, is in charge of the domestic affairs. Manson, who, by strong inference, the playwright would have us believe is the reincarnated Son of Man, begins at once his great work redeeming the household."

Thanks, swanq, we'll update the catalog record.

PRINCE WILLIAM OF SWEDEN AN INTERESTING PERSONALITY
(By Associated Press)
Stockholm. March 18.-- Prince William of Sweden, second son of the King, some time ago left Stockholm accompanied by four of his friends. for Honduras. He intends to spend about a year in studying its geography and ethnography.
Prince William is a very interesting personality. He was brought up on the sea, joining the Swedish navy as a cadet when only twelve years of age. His tutors had strict instructions that no consideration should be shown him because of his royal birth, that he should be made to work just as though he were a plain every-day boy.
The sailor prince is a poet, a thorough sportsman and as a golfer has scarcely his equal in Sweden.

Professor Camillo Negro's Neuropathological Films

"Camillo Negro, Professor in Neurology at the University of Torino, was a pioneer of scientific film. From 1906 to 1908, with the help of his assistant Giuseppe Roasenda and in collaboration with Roberto Omegna, one of the most experienced cinematographers in Italy, he filmed some of his patients for scientific and educational purposes. During the war years, he continued his scientific film project at the Military Hospital in Torino, filming shell-shocked soldiers. In autumn 2011, the Museo Nazionale del Cinema, in partnership with the Faculty of Neurosciences of the University of Torino, presented a new critical edition of the neuropathological films directed by Negro. The Museum's collection also includes 16 mm footage probably filmed in 1930 by Doctor Fedele Negro, Camillo's son. One of these films is devoted to celebrating the effects of the so-called "Bulgarian cure" on Parkinson's disease."

Thanks swanq, we'll add some of this information to our catalog record.

Isn't that Jackie Kennedy as a little girl?

Olga Kim, yes, they appear to match the figures in an identified Associated Press photo. We'll add her and her mother's name to the catalog record.

It was a bazzar ie a stall amoung a series of stalls held as part of a fate held in the "courthouse grounds" of waterford to raise money to build the cathedral. It went on for four days. I am doing research into the foskin family tree and came across a newspaper article relating to it. mrs foskin apprantly won a set of spoons. According to the newspaper She was assisted by a mrs cronin coffey caffin and and hennessy. She lived in waterford city although I've yet to narrow down an address I can post a snap in my feed if people are interested it was in the munster express june 19th page 8 and is available on irish newspaper archives

Sean Research What a lovely detail! Thank you very much for all of this fresh information. I hope Mrs Foskin was very happy with her set of spoons.

"Walter Chauncey Camp (April 7, 1859 – March 14, 1925) was an American college football player and coach, and sports writer known as the "Father of American Football". Among a long list of inventions, he created the sport's line of scrimmage and the system of downs. With John Heisman, Amos Alonzo Stagg, Pop Warner, Fielding H. Yost, Curly Lambeau, and George Halas, Camp was one of the most accomplished persons in the early history of American football. He attended Yale College, where he played and coached college football. Camp's Yale teams of 1888, 1891, and 1892 have been recognized as national champions. Camp was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach during 1951."

Per the NIAH:
Freestanding statue, erected 1866,...
This figure of Oliver Goldsmith was made by J.H. Foley.

We have seen lots of Foleys's work including O'Connell the other day

One of a pair with Burke:

17 works at the dia, this is the 2nd chronologically, Burke is a few years later.

dia.ie

Foley is not in the pic of the O'Connell monument dedication, he died in 1874 before it was finished, completed by his assistant, Thomas Brock

"As I take my shoes from the shoemaker, and my coat from the taylor, so I take my religion from the priest".

Via - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Goldsmith - which has a 2006 photo from almost exactly the same PoV ...

Brock's Belfast work here too, as you noted a few years back, Niall McAuley.

The Lace Cravat: Symbolizes Goldsmith's known fondness for luxury and the finer things in life, despite his frequent lack of funds.

The Missing Button: If you look closely at his waistcoat, a button is missing—a subtle nod from the sculptor to Goldsmith's notoriously careless nature and chaotic relationship with money.

O Mac According to AI:

How an "Electro Cast" Statue is Made
1. The Mold: An artist creates a model out of a soft material like wax or plaster. A negative mold is taken from it.
2. Making it Conductive: Because wax or plaster doesn't conduct electricity, the inside of the mold is coated with a thin layer of conductive material, usually graphite powder.
3. The Electric Bath: The mold is submerged in a chemical bath (like copper sulfate). An electric current is passed through the liquid.
4. Growing the Metal: The electricity causes metal particles (usually pure copper) to dissolve from a source block and deposit themselves perfectly against the mold. Over several days, a flawless, rigid metal shell forms.
5. Finishing: The hollow metal sections are removed from the molds and soldered together. The statue is then chemically treated with a patina to make it look exactly like a traditional cast bronze sculpture.

So, it’s hollow?

The missing button

This is excellent Well done on being in explore!

Congratulations on making Flickr Explore - what a well-deserved recognition! Your photograph of the Blue Fox Theater captures so much charm and nostalgia: the marquee announcing "Hero at Large," the elegant arch and tile roof, and that beautiful vertical "Blue Fox" sign all come together in perfect light. You've not only preserved a slice of Grangeville history but also shown it with a warm, respectful eye and great composition. Fantastic work - keep shooting scenes like this, they clearly resonate with people!

Looks like c. 1914/5, Artillery (RFA) or the Royal Horse Artillery (RHA).

Suck Diesel I agree.

There was a Mary Sutton living in Nooke(Nuke) in 1926.
Perhaps this a print of a photo taken of her husband Timothy 28 taken around WW1 time??
(Note in Poole Index Book: says 'Copy'.)

nationalarchives.ie

O Mac Married 9 years in 1926.

From the birth record of Thomas Sutton, we learn Mary was née Dalton.

No, née Fitzsimmmons, Mary Kate was the daughter of Thomas Dalton.

Was wondering why I didn't see a wedding record, she married Tim in 1922, she was a widow.

Niall McAuley It would be interesting to see what his occupation was on the marriage cert from 1917?

Married Thomas in 1915, she was 20, he 27, a Labourer.

Possibly Thomas RIP in the picture?

Looks like Thomas died November 1918 of TB, still a Labourer. Diagnosed 2 years, probably not in the army?
