    I Think it is called a Billhook and it is used for hedging on the farm
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Mick Huett Thank you! It certainly looks like a Billhook if these images are anything to go by...
  • Brian Mulligan said:
    They could easily be father and son, check the eyes and mouth similarities. A nice photograph especially considering when it was taken!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Brian Mulligan Perhaps you're right - they could well be father and son...
  • Sole & Luna said:
    Really nice photo!

Interior of cluttered room, Augusta Crofton Dillon seated on armchair, surrounded by ornaments. Many paintings and photographs on wall, also shows reading stand with garden magazine and two books.

    Friday 3rd July would mean 1914, if between 1910-1920.

    That's "The Irish House of Commons" by Francis Wheatley on the left. See below. With "King George IV entering Kingstown" by R. HAVELL AFTER J. HAVERTY to its right.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    There's a second photo taken at what looks like the same time here (reversed). However, it claims c. 1905 as the date.

November 10, 1863

    Over 3, 000 glass negatives survive from the Clonbrock family, whose photographic tradition began with the marriage of an enthusiastic amateur, Lady Augusta Crofton, to Luke Dillon, later 4th Baron Clonbrock, in 1866. Soon afterwards they built a fully equipped ‘Photograph House’ in the grounds of their house near Ballinaske, Co. Galway. Read more: www.answers.com/topic/country-house-photography#ixzz1dNuy... The house is now a shell due to a fire in the 1980's
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Moira We have about 3,500 of the Dillons photos. They were an amazing family of early photographers. And you might be glad to hear that the house is being restored...

    Great style... Makes me dream of another time, although I must say that I love being in blue jeans !
  • patrick vickers said:
    How did they manage in those skirts ?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    patrick vickers With great difficulty, I would imagine! Certainly no rushing through narrow doorways...
