Tea Time

from National Library of Ireland on The Commons

    Lovely shot and such handsome people. When I was a kid the Traveller names were either Sheridan or McCarthy and when I met a man named Sheridan who was not a traveller I was amazed! These people were very well dressed and very clean which cannot have been easy under the conditions? I love the painting on the caravan.
  • Paula Sheridan said:
    Sheridan, but not a traveller - most of the Sheridan travellers were in the munster area - not sure if they all travelled from Cavan/Longford, the home of Sheridans!! Love the photo - the tea table setting, the ladies dresses and hair do"s -even the boots on the lady sitting makes her look really contemporary in style!

    Swordscookie It is lovely, isn't it? Do you remember this one and this from a while back, Sean? Both were taken by Elinor Wiltshire later the same year, in July...
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Paula Sheridan I think she looks really comfortable in her skin! Would love to know what she was waving.
  • Juffrouw Jo said:
    Camping in style and with class, something that sadly died out decades ago.

    "Thomas James O’Brien (July 30, 1842 – May 19, 1933) was a politician and diplomat from the U.S. state of Michigan. While serving as Ambassador to Japan, he, along with Japanese Minister for Foreign Affairs Hayashi Tadasu, negotiated the Gentlemen's Agreement of 1907 that addressed the issue of Japanese immigration to the United States and allowed children of Japanese immigrants to attend public schools in California."
