P.S. Fógra: Our curator of photographs here at the National Library, Elizabeth Kirwan, is looking for some help. She hopes to identify the women in this Liberty Hall photograph, and to establish the date it was taken. It's been languishing rather unloved here for almost 13 years. So it'd be great if some of ye could help us revisit it, once you've finished with today's photograph, of course!

The fourth son, Vincent James O'Connell, was an architect ... Architect and engineer, of Earl Street, Dundalk, active from the first decade of the twentienth century until 1950 or later. Vincent O' Connell, fourth son of Henry O'Connell, grocer, of Dundalk, and his wife, Mary, was born in Co. Louth in 1882 or 1883. He became a pupil in the office of of HAGUE & amp; MCNAMARA in Dublin(1) before setting up in practice in Earl Street, Dundalk, in 1906 or earlier.

Suck Diesel Any info on that IWWU photo you have, will be very gratefully received. But could you comment under that photo, rather than here, so all the information stays together?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie_Braslau "Sophie Braslau (August 16, 1892 – December 22, 1935) was a contralto prominent in United States opera, starting with her debut in New York City's Metropolitan Opera in 1913 when she was just 21 years of age."

Hear how she sounded in 1917, singing 'The Sweetest Story Ever Told' - youtu.be/BjTXeUM502E

In her obituary The New York Times wrote, "The singer considered as her greatest triumph an experience during a rehearsal for a concert at Richmond, Va., where she had been sent to substitute for Mme. Louise Homer. After an introduction to the musicians in the empty auditorium, she sang an aria for rehearsal."

"I finished and there came a dead silence," she recalled later, "quickly followed by the strangest sound I had ever heard.  The musicians tapped their music stands with their bows or clapped their hands." In a few seconds it seemed as if pandemonium had let loose, and how happy I was! It was really the finest moment of my life. My mother was there, and it seemed to me that this was her triumph, for the evening concert was a great success and this was the first big joy she had experienced after her many years of devoted supervision."

(Many photographs of Mme. Homer can be seen in the LOC Bain Collection here.) There are currently nine photographs of Sophie Braslau in the LOC Bain Collection from c.1910-1915 here.)
