  Lady Chatterly's Lover? Lovely portrait, typical of the high standard of Lafayette!

• Niall McAuley said:

  Here he is in the 1911 census, at 67 a professor of literature at the University of Dublin. Likewise in 1901 at 57, which looks to me about his age in the photo today.

• Niall McAuley said:

  Judging by his wikipedia bio he would like to be pictured reading Shakespeare, but I am sure it is a studio prop.

• Niall McAuley said:

• Niall McAuley said:

After 1914, he joined the Ministry of Agriculture where he held various positions, including the Directorate of Immigration and Agricultural Labor. In 1919, he founded the National Confederation of Agricultural Associations.
