There is a photo album of "ca. 1905" -
"The album is a photographic record (ca. 1905) of the studio of sculptor and painter Herbert Ward (1863-1919) documenting his sculptures of African tribesmen and women and the interior of his studio which was filled with African tribal artifacts. Ward was born in London but spent much of his life in Paris. The focus of his collection and sculptural work was the result of his expedition to central Africa with Sir Henry Morton Stanley (1841-1904) in 1887."

Maybe Ward sent this print to his close friend Casement. Probably before WW1, when they fell out according to Wikipedia - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Ward_(sculptor)

The NLI catalogue has five photos of Ward's Paris studio -
catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000184789 (this photo)
catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000184790
catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000184794
catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000184795
catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000184796 (sculptures in progress)

Aside - I think it looks awful; all those dead things and pointy objects are dreadful feng shui.

Date is definitely after 1899 when Ward moved to Paris.

I'd love to see one of the ship berthed at Arklow. I never miss a visit to the Maritime Museum each time I'm down there.

Very opulent! What a great image though - so much detail and this was taken below decks - must have needed a hefty exposure!!

"Her first voyage to North America began on 17 June 1860" She was converted into a cable-laying ship in 1865. "The conversion work for Great Eastern's new role consisted in the removal of funnel no. 4 and some boilers as well as great parts of the passenger rooms and saloons" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Great_Eastern

Just read a book about the history of the last voyage of the Lusitania. Due to your photo collection I can "see" the ship while reading the book again. Thanks for sharing.
