    William Parsons, third Earl of Rosse, John's Place, Birr, County Offaly and yes to answer your questions.

    Streetview The NIAH entry dates it to c. 1870 (he died in 1867) and the photo is pre-engraving of his name on the plinth, so it must be shortly after it was erected.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    A slightly different view of the statue in the Lawrence Collection, but also lacking engraving so probably taken at a similar time frame.
  • Foxglove said:
    within NLofI Flickr I think you have a photo listed with the "great telescope",
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The DIA says it is by John Henry Foley, who also started the O'Connell monument in O'Connell St, did Fr. Matthew in Cork, Goldsmith and Burke in Trinity, Prince Albert on Leinster Lawn, Carlisle and Gough in the Phoenix Park, a Guinness at St. Patrick's Cathedral, and Grattan on College Green. I think we have seen all of those in the nli Flickr stream!
