    "Vasari, Roma" bottom right ?? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_fotografico_Vasari Guessing Rome ...

    I see the catalogue already knows that. But the catalogue does not know that 29 November 1921 was a Tuesday. Can't find it on streetview - anybody?
  • Niall McAuley said:
    beachcomber australia I don't see it on Streetview. It is a bit like this house, with the small barred basement windows, but not the same one.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Niall McAuley Yes, the lie of the land is not right there. How about here - goo.gl/maps/jGKxChwjBjVUkYJHA . Perhaps the Villa de la Penne was redeveloped and that curved garden in front was incorporated into the Grand Hotel Palace in the 1920s ??
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    There's a mention here that George Gavan Duffy "had his headquarters in the Via Veneto, Rome, as the ‘envoy extraordinary of the delegation of the Irish Republic’", which would match beachcomber australia's suggestion.

    Congratulation for your beautiful Album.
  • CASSIDY PHOTOGRAPHY said:
    The Irish have contributed so much to America. Fought, bled, and died during the Civil War, under both the Union and Confederate Flags. John Mitchel's sons fought during the Civil war, though on the Confederate side. He had his reasons.
  • Nydialy said:
    From the Wikipedia page of Balbriggan, 54 houses and a hosiery factory were destroyed during the "Sack of Balbriggan" on 20 September 1920. The US delegation pledged to rebuild 30 homes and a factory.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Wikipedia says:: On Monday 21 September 1920 during the night the Black and Tans sacked the town of Balbriggan in County Dublin, Ireland. ... On Clonard Street, 20 houses were destroyed. Several pubs were looted and burned including Derham’s Pub and McGowan’s Pub on George’s Hill. Overall a factory, 49 houses and four pubs were burnt down. This is presumably the ruins of the factory.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    On the OSI 25" map (somewhat earlier date) there are no factorys on Clonard Street, but there is a Linen Factory on George's Hill.

"Group of women activists holding protest posters and an American flag, being directed by policemen, at an unidentified location" is mostly right

    The descriptions are a bit mixed up - this is the photo with the American flag and the policeman.

    Outside the British Embassy in Washington according to this photo showing similar placards.
  • Willem said:
    Well-dressed ladies, like the Suffragettes.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    Here's a photo of the British Embassy at the time, at 1300 Connecticut Ave.

    Streetview - looks a bit different now.
