  May have been taken around the time of Edward VII's coronation, or his visit to the city to open the King Edward VII railway bridge in 1906. Hence all the bunting.

  One year later, and one mayor later. The previous image (below) is Edward Walsh (Mayor 1928-29). www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/6061514031/ Which would likely make this portrait image John Wyley (Mayor 1926-27). At least according to Wikipedia and the NLI catalogue.

  It also says "Waterford" above his head... (As part of the coat of arms and motto of Waterford City: "Urbs Intacta Manet Waterfordia")

• Niall McAuley said:

  wikipedia has a list, and suggests that in 1926 and 1927 the Mayor was John J. Wyley
