    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

    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 !

    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...

God bless your eyesight!

    Is that another lady in the ground-floor window, possibly doing needle-work? (Thanks Mega-Super Zoom!)

  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    BultacoFan Either reading or doing some needlework! Well spotted!
  • Sam said:
    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.

    oaktree_brian_1976 It would indeed!
  • BURNSER77 said:
    I can fix the broken glassplate if you like?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    BURNSER77 You're very kind to offer, but that's how the original glassplate is - presenting it here "warts and all"... :)
