25" OSI The formal garden was to the right of the main house but there were shubberies and rockeries all over the estate. so she could be sitting anywhere. Born Augusta Caroline Crofton 16th October 1839, she died 5th September 1928 She would have been 75/76 in 1915.

TCD is working on a Letters of 1916 project, which includes a bunch to/from the Clonbrocks from about this time. For example R.E. Dillon congratulating his mother on her golden wedding anniversary.

I’d kill to see this television series! Do any of you remember it? The ladies of the lens At the Great Exhibition in London of 1851, Lady Augusta Crofton’s father bought her a camera and she never looked back. With Rose Shaw she became one of the earliest photographers in Ireland and starting tonight their work, along with thousands of pictures by their male colleagues, will be featured by RTÉ in a six-part television documentary series on old photographs called “Shadows”. “Lady Augusta Crofton was the first great Irish woman photographer” says Michael O’Connell, producer of the series. “If you think that photography was only invented in 1837 and that she was in action by the very early 1850s that makes her very much part of the pioneers. She was operating a camera less than ten years after what would be reputed to be the first photographs taken in Ireland.” With her wet plate process camera, Augusta, who married into the Dillon family of Clonbrock in East Galway, took over 1,000 photographs which are today in the basement of the National Library [not any more, they’re not!] and God knows how many others as well which are now lost to posterity… (Irish Times, 15 February 1985)

Amazing stuff! Judging by all the open windows it was a hot day. I love ruins but it does seem a shame to see such a magnificent house in its heyday and now abandoned to ruin.
