copy

The Stewarts still claimed the throne of France (as seen in the British arms). I think George II was the last British monarch to do so. Also, if the date of 1704 is contemporary, I suppose the images of the parliament chambers would still represent the interior of Chichester House, rather than the present Bank of Ireland parliament building.

Mr James Delahunty MP Former MP for County Waterford Entered the House of Commons on 17 November 1868 Left the House of Commons on 24 March 1880 Also represented Waterford Borough

He died in 1885, so either the dates are wrong or this is a copy (although I think Poole copies are usually noted as such?)

A recognizable caricature here

Was Mr Poole making a copy of an earlier photo? James Delahunty died in 1885. And a 1872 Vanity Fair caricature - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Delahunty Delahunty "was laughed at because of the dullness of his oratory". In 1878 he caused amusement in the Commons by spreading on his bench sundry personal items taken from his bag in a long search for the notes for his speech on the Money Laws (Ireland) Bill. [Ed. SNAP !]

Deffo a copy! Style of clothes, etc. Anyone ever heard of McRedmond News?? From snippets in various newspapers, James Delahunty was a member of the Irish Parliamentary Party; of the Home Rule League; on the council of the Society for the Preservation of the Irish Language; and active on the land question.

so nice everybody happy that`s what care

fantastic !
