Kuno Meyer, head and shoulders, front facing portrait

    Maybe someone better informed can add something, but I've always thought of Meyer as a cultural and academic figure rather than a political one. He was one of those German academics who did so much for Celtic studies in the late 19th & early 20th century.
  • O Mac said:
    The photographer Alexander Bassano took the famous photograph of Lord Kitchener seen on the "Lord Kitchener Wants You" WW1 recruitment poster.

    This is apparently Kuno Meyer (20 December 1858 – 11 October 1919), a German scholar, distinguished in the field of Celtic philology and literature. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuno_Meyer See also article in The Saint Paul globe., July 31, 1904, Page 28 (with photo) "One of the most powerful personalities in connection with the Gaelic revival is Dr. Kuno Meyer, a German savant. Entirely at his own expense he goes through Ireland delivering lectures on the treasures of its ancient literature and revealing to the Irish themselves the value of the heritage which many of them so lightly prized."

    Nurse Linda Kearns has an entry at the DIB, from whence: She was then directed by Éamon de Valera (qv) to accompany Muriel MacSwiney (qv) on a tour of the US to raise funds for the republican cause.

    Clearly the date range must be 1914-16.
  • Carol Maddock said:
    "He was a 'doer' more than a writer". A couple of lovely photos of Seán MacDiarmada here in our Googley exhibition on the Signatories of the Proclamation. He looks so different with a beard.
  • O Mac said:
    The buttons, being on his left, would indicate that this photograph is reversed.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The webified version of the 1911 census does a very poor job of transcribing what the Gaeilgeors in the house wrote on the Census Form.

    O Mac Yes! On the companion photo the buttons are on the left, and his tie-pin wiggles the other way - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000029734
