    I have a vague memory of seeing this in the RDS in Ballsbridge?
  • guliolopez said:
    I was just gonna say DannyM8 that it didn't like any room in the National Museum that I know. But those pillars behind do look like the columns supporting the mezzanine in the RDS exhibition hall. I may however just be proving that I don't spend enough time in our capital's cultural institutions :) www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/21050077350/

    WALTER POLLOCK HAMILTON VC ... www.inistioge.ie/150/Walter_Pollock_Hamilton_VC_.html "A slightly over-life-size statue of Hamilton striding over an Afghan threatening him with a knife was produced in bronze-painted plaster by Charles Bell Birch in Dublin in around 1880. It is now on display in the National Army Museum, Chelsea, as is a plaque to him (set up in the Punjab Frontier Force Chapel, then in the sanctum crypt of St. Lukes Chapel, Chelsea)."

    Displaying this scene during the Siege of the British Residency in Kabul on September 3, 1879: "Hamilton faced the oncoming Afghan wave, and emptied his revolver into them before being overwhelmed and killed. His stand allowed his 5 surviving men to retreat inside the compound." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_the_British_Residency_in_K...

    Would it be possible for you to confirm for me the formal position of each sitter?
  • Vinegar Tom said:
    Or stander (to avoid any confusion) :- )
  • Vinegar Tom said:
    I would love to have a go at "reading" that image, but I am not very concise, so an email is probably more suitable than this page. d a v i d . f r a s e r 1 @ n t l w o r l d . com if you are interested : - ) I will have a bash when I get back from my holidays (as we say in Glasgow)
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Hi Tom, thank you for your interest and comments! These images are part of a collection of which the background documentation has been lost and/or destroyed over time. What we hope for here is that some of our intrepid researchers will unearth the details of the sitters, standers and location from the title, image and personalities therein! Keep an eye on the comments stream during the day and perhaps we will, as we have many times in the past, be enlightened, entertained and educated:-)

    Other images in the series give the date as 1911, and the commissioning location as Ballybur (Castle?), County Killkenny.

    Dog overload - I see at least FOUR! That length of exposure, along with the dress of the lady in the background, points to early in the date range, perhaps 1880s?
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    BultacoFan I thought 2 dogs, but both managing to be in two places at once!
