I shall be perusing her digitised 1917 diary later to see if she complained about her photo, and how much her password cost.

One of her pieces, 1913

Sad story. She died too young from Spanish flu in 1918. Interesting biography - www.dib.ie/biography/trench-cesca-trinseach-sadhbh-a9809
And her 1913 artwork via National Library of Ireland

Edit - snap @ suck !

beachcomber australia So young! And so probably never got to travel with that passport... :(

Here she is at 'The Peerage', listed as "Frances Georgiana Chenevix Trench" -

he Half Dozen Group of Artists, originally comprised six members of the Royal Queensland Art Society who broke away and formed their own group in 1940. The main advocate for the move seems to have been Lilian Pedersen. The other five members were Mona Elliott (the first chairperson), Frank Sherrin, Rosalie Wilson, Leonard Shillam and Ann Ross. Their first exhibition was held in the Randall Room at the Brisbane City Hall in 1941. Although it has retained its traditional name of 'Half Dozen', it has for many years maintained between one and two hundred members. Through the nineteen-forties, fifties and sixties this nucleus of six artists was joined by a "younger generation" of aspiring artists, including Lloyd Rees, Margaret Olley, L. J. Harvey, Margaret Preston, Kenneth McQueen, Jon Molvig, Melville Haysom, William Robinson, Donald Friend, Vida Lahey, Daphne Mayo, Roy Churcher, Mervyn Moriarty, and John Rigby. These artists were later to become some of the most recognised Queensland artists of our time. Membership was initially restricted to a maximum of thirty-five. Artists wishing to join were accepted upon invitation and were expected to present a folio of work for adjudication. TODAY, the criteria for membership centers on an applicant's genuine desire to develop skill and understanding, and if possible, to participate in self-development through the weekly and other workshops provided. The applicant needs the nominations of two financial members and to be accepted by the Management Committee, although this may change at different times. The Group, with former Vice-Regal Patronage (since its inception), now has a membership of well over 100 artists and is continuing to grow. Source: www.hdg-artists.com/a-brief-history.html

Quite a beautiful photo of a beautiful house.

Google maps gives an Elmhurst Road, but it is not very near Bournemouth and this house is not on it.

UCD have a collection of correspondence of a Dr. William Frazer, who was a hobbyist in historical and archaeological stuff.
