    There is a similar Royal plate with extra buildings, larger trees, a lady in suffragette white with a cow-pat hat (c. 1910?). Today's photo looks to be 5 - 10 years earlier ??

    Edit - And another Cabinet plate, same day as today's, slightly to the right - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000334190
