  I'll have a dry martini please ... or maybe it has not been invented yet? The sun is well over the yard-arm where I am.

  It's a long way from the ferry to Holyhead! :-)

• ccferrie said:

  Looks like it must be 1860-1865 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Great_Eastern The Sept 1861 voyage looks like a contender - "On the second day out [from Liverpool] the wind increased to gale force, causing the ship to roll heavily"

• ccferrie said:

  Although, the captain of the ship from 1866-78, during its cable-laying years, was a Wicklow man en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Halpin It seems odd that the saloon and dining saloon would be so luxuriously appointed for that kind of work though.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  ccferrie The absolute earliest this could be is 1865, as Lawrence didn't set up in business until then. But logistically speaking, it was probably at least a few years after that. (Robert French, photographer on three-quarters of our Lawrence Collection didn't even start working for William Lawrence until 1880-ish....)

• Iriskten said:

  All I can think of is how much work she has to do!

  I love contrast of this photo, and how the light shines through the window and then bounces off of the pitcher on the table.

  It is possible that this should more correctly be titled "woman inside a selector's house"
  
  
  From www.cultureandrecreation.gov.au/articles/australianhistory/:
  
  "In 1861, the NSW government opened up the free selection of Crown land. The Crown Lands Acts 1861 permitted any person to select up to 320 acres on the condition of paying a deposit and living on the land for three years. The Acts also limited the use of Crown lands by Aboriginal people as until this time, pastoral lands were still able to be legitimately used by them.
  
  
  
  So, a selector was a person who had taken up that right to land.
  
  I have seen one book about Australian colonial/federation photogrpahy which titles this image
