    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!

    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.

    Check out the haircut, Top row, centre! Clearly he had a carefree attitude!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    We've all had bad hair days, but there are some amazing (hair raising) heads in this photo...
  • J.o.t.a. said:
    I'm just thinking the same as Brian Mulligan, what a modern haircut. Lots of hair gel in some heads too.
