    The hat and the roof of the grandstand match this picture from the Illustrated London News of 26th August 1950.

    Edit: but I'm not sure about the collar.
    Illustrated London News - Saturday 26 August 1950

    President O'Kelly attended on Friday 11th August, arriving at 3 p.m. (Irish Independent - Saturday 12 August 1950)
  • John Spooner said:
    Judging from a picture in the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News - Wednesday 24 August 1949 (which includes the presidental collar, matching this time), The picture was taken at the 1949 event, and the military man on the right is Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands.

    Was this taken at the 1922 Met Gala?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia Certainly looks identical. Now on to the "whatever that is", the whoever that is, whenever that was, and the photographer...
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    O Mac Probably a bit too understated.
  • John Spooner said:
    Reporting the coronation of Pope Pius XI in February 1922, the correspondent of the Drogheda Independent noted that
    The Knights of the Order of Malta and those of the Holy Sepulchre were much admired in their red and white uniforms

    Niall McAuley And from Library Towers catalogue, and other libraries in the States, Mrs Margaret E. Hickey wrote letters from New York, and specifically Brooklyn.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I think her perm looks 1930s?
  • Carol Maddock said:
    Margaret signs off this letter to Joseph McGarrity as writing from
    2177 Bedford Avenue (is that Brooklyn?)
    and from
    Irish Progressive League
    229 Lex[ington] Ave[nue]

    That letter is from the digital library at Villanova University. Beautiful clear handwriting. Margaret was obviously well acquainted with Hanna Sheehy-Skeffington.

    There is a Margaret Hickey ion the 1940 US census living in New York, West 153rd St., born ~1905 in Ireland. EDIT: (not her)
