    Almost certainly an engagement ring, especially given the times that were in it. The left hand ring finger was a very strong signal as to ones state of singularity or otherwise! A very good portrait from Mr. Poole! Incidentally you were late uploading this morning - I found waiting for my morning fix to be quite stressful. NLI's photostream has become an important part of my day. (sad or what?)

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/66105333@N06] Wow, Danny, thanks for all of this wonderful information! I have amended her age to 42 above. Do you know that the Census Online has a facility for you to submit correct information? www.census.nationalarchives.ie/about/census_errors.html p.s. there must have been rampant "stretching" of the truth with regard to age in the census.

    The lady behind him also has a bit of a smile, and the one on the left looks to be struggling to express a smirk. I wonder when it became obligatory to force a smile for photographs. I once read that the grim expressions in old portraits were the result of long exposures - it's easier to maintain a neutral expression for a few seconds than a smile. Anyway, I'm glad the gent at the back is maintaining a bit of decorum with his grim expression.

    Funny because we've been talking about wristwatches on another Flickr Commons photo: Miss Fitzgerald's watch doesn't look very different from Miss (Dr?) Crossley's...
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) Lovely that Kathleen May Crossley was identified, and by her great niece! Yes, these early watches look very large and "masculine" compared to later 20th century women's styles with teeny faces - on the watches, not on the women ;)
