    Wonder if it was taken at the same time as the nurse holding twins photo. Has similar ferns etc. in the background.

    It'd be nice to clean these up in photoshop really.

    No young D. Toomey in 1911 in County Waterford. I like 10 year old Denis Toomey of Clonmel. His father, also Denis, is a Fireman at a Milk Factory

    Google maps says this Streetview shows Ballydurn Creamery, which a HAGS says closed in the 1960s, and was a satellite of Kilmeaden. The building does not appear on the 1930s Cassini map.

    Niall McAuley he could well be, and in my opinion he could be 26 or 27 in this photo.

    Maybe the tip of a Montblanc fountain pen.

    I seem to remember the "White Star pin". As I recall it was something to do with abstaining from the use of bad language. Our friend Stuart who collects such things will know.

    is it necessary to label the photo "Negro boy" surly "boy" will do or if needed to make reference to his race for historical context surly African American. just like to point out that i am not PC mad just thought this title was a little odd. after all this guy is probably alive wonder what he would think to being called "Negro boy"
  • [kren] said:
    I guess it must be the original title, or the agency caption as mentioned above. I don't see anything wrong in keeping that title, it reminds us of the mindset of some people in that time and it could even be an anti-racist statement.
  • third twig said:
    I Like the photo but not the tittle.
  • styler* said:
    yes but the title is part of the times the image was taken in
    therefore the title itself has a historical context.

    it might not be nice or acceptable context, but to change the title as given by the original photographer, changes history. Essentially whitewashing the past.
  • Emily said:
    The titles are all drawn from the original descriptions of the photos - if you browse around on the Library of Congress's American Memory project you'll see a lot of outdated terms sometimes, but that's the way people talked back then. This is part of why they need help from people tagging pictures - we look for pictures using different words than the photographers or librarians back then would have used.
