    WOW!!! What a lovely photograph of the mother and her son. I could look at that all day and marvel at the image. A poet in his finery with the loving mother by his side, dressed in their day to day clothes and posing for the gentleman/woman with the camera. Look at the hat on the ground, at the weather beaten skin on their faces and hands, the long strong fingers of the man and the well worn shoes on the pair of them? Magic!

    Swordscookie And her wedding ring has become very loose on her fingers as they've shrunk with age... Did check to see if we have a copy of that poem in our collections, but if we do, it's not individually catalogued. Maybe in our collections of street poems and ballads.

    On Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Brigid's_Well it says that a wandering poet once wrote - "On St Brigid’s Eve, as night fell, My mother and I went to Saint Brigid’s Well, Where the candles do burn and the great walls do shine on the graves of the dead and the vaults of O’Brien" Could those be the words of our Poet friend above? It would be great to find out and get the entire text.

    I'm suspecting this is a propaganda photograph?
  • Art Siegel said:
    It definitely shows a scene from a peaceful and friendly occupation. I think almost all of the Bain war photos are propaganda, depending on which side the audience for the photo was rooting.

    I wonder if the guy on the bike is making some sort of rude gesture (early photo bomb). The only thing I can think of is the "biting the thumb" gesture that means screw you. He looks too intently at the camera not to be in some way making his own comment on the scene.

    looking at the hi-res version, it seems he has a pipe in his mouth.
