    That Dev lurking in at the side of the camera Carol?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    ClickKen04 Definitely Eamon de Valera! Hoping that's Margaret Pearse on the other side of the newsreel camera. Also hoping for help in identifying others...
  • John said:
    That is Cathal Brugha front and centre with the hat and mac. Brugha died of wounds received in action against Free State troops on 7th July, 1922. Either Wikipedia is wrong with his date of death or the date in the catalogue is incorrect. Worthy of further research methinks.
  • ClickKen04 said:
    Cheers Carol. Interesting of who might be who in this collective of political & Social Irish personnel of the time!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    John Thanks, should have recognized Cathal Brugha myself. You're absolutely right - Brugha died on Friday, 7 July 1922, so that blows our original dating out of the water...

    Wolfe Tones grave at Bodenstown catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000355643
  • Suck Diesel said:
    "Republicans, you have come here today to the tomb of Wolfe Tone on a pilgrimage of loyalty. By your presence you proclaim your undiminished attachment to the ideals of Tone, and your unaltered devotion to the cause for which he gave his life. It is your answer to those who would have it believed that the Republic of Ireland is dead and its cause abandoned." - de Valera, Bodenstown 1925
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Streetview of the graveyard, the Wolfe Tone memorial is on the other side of the ruined church. [Edit} Corrected, thanks O Mac

    Trying to find a flickr shot, but many are NSFW with assorted dodgy characters in them.

    The Long Fellow himself complete with Fáinne and book of advanced mathematics puzzles. He was so young looking then before he became either adored or reviled, depending on your perspective. Sorry Carol, had begun commenting before I spotted your question - the answer is, he is wearing neither as I understand it! A lorgnette was spectacles on a stick or handle but what he is wearing appears to be "pince nez" or nose pinchers!
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Those glasses do have a little stick or handle on the right (our left).
  • Swordscookie said:
    That's true, but a lorgnette was normally presented to the eye as required whereas with Dev they were required equipment to enable him to see at any distance. Pince Nez were more his style and the little handle saved one from muddying the waters so to speak!
  • ClickKen04 said:
    Any evidence on where the 'Big Fella' was at the same time Carol? I know there were very few photos of Collins, so was just curious if there was anything comparitive in the archives by any chance? Tks, K.
