Over 3, 000 glass negatives survive from the Clonbrock family, whose photographic tradition began with the marriage of an enthusiastic amateur, Lady Augusta Crofton, to Luke Dillon, later 4th Baron Clonbrock, in 1866. Soon afterwards they built a fully equipped ‘Photograph House’ in the grounds of their house near Ballinaske, Co. Galway. Read more: www.answers.com/topic/country-house-photography#ixzz1dNuy... The house is now a shell due to a fire in the 1980's

Moira We have about 3,500 of the Dillons photos. They were an amazing family of early photographers. And you might be glad to hear that the house is being restored...

I wonder if the date at bottom right is "Jan[uary]" rather than "Jun[e]" ? Would you bother to shorten June by one letter? 25 January 1866 was a Thursday 25 June 1866 was a Monday

beachcomber australia I agree - it looks like Jan.
BultacoFan said:
Are there 12 individuals or are some of them the same person in different poses? Are they all perhaps from one family? Or maybe it's the base layer for an early publicity flyer - "Come get your photograph taken - you too could look like this - The Wonder of the Age", etc...
beachcomber australia said:
And Jan makes me think this is the 1866 ancestor of The Brady Bunch !

I think that this is the one on the top left which was taken on April 24 1865.
