Think this is a little later than the Egg and Foul Market given the growth in the tree on the right. But not much. Egg and Fowl is circa 1905 so I would say 1906 or 07 at 12.12 PM some day

DannyM8 Well, circa 1905 on the Egg and Fowl Market was speculative... Never firmly established.

National Library of Ireland on The Commons Understand that. But think this is a little older

Think this might be the Egg and Fowl Market also?

DannyM8 Deffo geese, etc. lying on the ground...

Is it Mitchelstown? www.galteemore.com/images/Market%20Square.jpg

The hills look Kerryesque...

Mike I think Woesinger is right in the notes, that struck me as a tidal area past the last of the houses and the feel I got from it was as Niall McAuley says, very Kerryesque. Were they firkins of butter I wonder or barrels of stout? Nice photograph and the keystone image is very unusual.

I've a feeling this is Castletownbere.... Not quite the same viewpoint, but the layout and pub is similar. maps.google.ie/?ll=51.651525,-9.910526&spn=0.007003,0... Corroborating evidence (which is what put me on to Castletownbere) - in 1901, there was a Daniel Moriarty, shopkeeper, living in Castletownbere. On further investigation, he did indeed own a public house. www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Cork/Killaconen... Very circumstantial, but the layout of the town, the background and the pub seem to match.

Woesinger That looks very like it alright. The estuary appears closer in the old shot but it looks just right. Is that Kingstons on the left of the picture? Perhaps we can verify it from that? Here's another view that might support your hypothesis? maps.google.ie/?ll=51.651525,-9.910526&spn=0.007003,0...

Oh, when I read photo title I thought it referred to Francisco I. Madero, but no, it's his brother, Raúl, who join to Pancho Villa's revolutionary forces. He died at 94, in 1982. I didn't know, but was interesting investigate that!

Bystanders in the background of the photo have all been retouched out of existence, except for a lad (and another spectator) whose eyes poke up just behind Pancho Villa's left shoulder. _____________________________________________________ PANCHO VILLA'S ARRANGEMENT WITH MUTUAL FILM CO.: "In January 1914, Pancho Villa became Hollywood's first Mexican superstar when he signed an exclusive contract with the Mutual Film Corporation. In return for $25,000, he agreed to keep other film companies from his battlefield, to fight in daylight whenever possible, and to reconstruct battles if the footage needed reshooting. "Now the subject of an HBO film starring Antonio Banderas (And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself), Villa is one of the main protagonists in Margarita de Orellana's vivid account of the American movie industry's fascination with the events of the Mexican Revolution. "Through memoir accounts, newspaper reports, and analysis of the films themselves, "Filming Pancho" reveals much about how Mexico was constructed in the American imagination and how the film images reinforced and justified American expansionism and racial and social prejudices." --From a description, on Amazon, of a documentary movie of Hollywood's treatment of the Mexican Revolution. (The DVD is available for purchase from various Amazon vendors.)

Rodolfo Fierro is correctly identified on this Bain/LOC/Mutal photo: Other Bain/LOC photos of Pancho Villa, inscribed with a Mutual Film Corporation copyright notice: And Mrs. Pancho Villa: More Mexican Revolution coverage by the Mutual Film Co.:

Rodolfo Fierro is not plucking a feather. He´s going to tie a knife in cock´s ankle. During the fight the cocks keep kicking each other untill one of them gets killed. Raúl Madero seems holding money in his hand, probably betting money. Most of the time the fight is "el giro" (white) against "el colorado" (red). Dr. Roberto Duarte
