    From History of the Commercial and Financial Relations between England and Ireland from the Period of the Restoration: Basket-work is carried on as a cottage industry in several places in the west and south of Ireland; at Letterfrack, in Connemara, the industry is especially flourishing. There is no doubt that one great way to improve the condition of agricultural Ireland is the development of these cottage and art industries. With the exception of the home-spun woollen industry and the lace-making industry they are still on a small scale, but taken in the bulk they give a good deal of subsidiary employment, and there is reason to believe that before long they will increase greatly.

    From The Englishwoman's Review of Social and Industrial Questions: 1898: Ms Sturge has issued a notice to customers of the basket industry, which she has so successfully planted and nurtured in Connemara, that an expert in basket work is now in charge of the industry, and all orders are to be henceforth addressed to the Manager, Connemara Basket Industry, Letterfrack, Galway

    Such good quality imagery. Ignore the clothing and look at her face - like it was taken today. Just checked a map for the named streets and it's hard to believe things could be like that there.

    That's what happens when there's no education, limited work and no social safety net. The story reads like Dickens.
