    Date written on negative is 10/19/12. NYT of October 20, 1912 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=980CE4D6113AE633A... reported that Carnegie had arrived back from his summer holiday in Scotland on the White Star Liner, the Baltic.
  • Anne (LOC P&P) said:
    swanq: Thanks! We'll fix the date in the source data and reload the description.
  • avigoren1989 said:
    The fact that Carnegie doesn't look like one of the richest people in the world is why he was able to become so rich. He focused on his work, not on his social standing. He concentrated on constantly having an advantage over all of the competition.

    Absolutely in stitches here at Library Towers! Just noticed the boy/girl who's managed to squish his/her head in beside Andrew Carnegie's elbow - mad!

    Great picture. In 1901, Mr. Andrew Carnegie offered `to subscribe £5,000 towards the erection of new public free library buildings in Waterford'. At a meeting on 15 Oct 1901, `Mr. Alexander Nelson, J.P., D.L., [c.1844-1921] subscribed £250' to a fund to increase the income of the Free Library (Irish Times 16 Oct 1901). The site for the new Library at Lady Lane, opened in 1905, was donated by Alexander Nelson; see www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?type=record&... I wonder is Nelson one of the dignitaries in the photograph? Alexander was Mayor for 1900 (according to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rulers_of_Waterford ) but the photograph wasn't taken until 1903; the man with the chain of office looks younger than 69 years old and is probably James A. Power, Mayor for 1903-5.

    Paddy Waldron Thanks Paddy! Besides this photo, that's a very useful reference list for Waterford Mayors in our Poole Collection - will help with dating, etc.

    Looks like their is a cutout in the foundation stone to place a time capsule as as is the usual custom,probably being held by a gentleman on the left. I wonder what they decided to place in it.Great photo and expressions.
