    Can confirm Meagher as he of the sword based on his famous face in the window. Edmund Leamy after some research: "born in 1848, was a barrister, journalist, author and politician. Son of a merchant, he was educated at the Jesuits Tullabeg College in Co Offaly, he was elected as a Parnellite Home Ruler in 1880, holding one of the two seats in parliament for Waterford City. The story goes that, as he was a friend of Parnell himself, he often, along with John Redmond and Thomas Sexton, accompanied Parnell to various political meetings, and on one occasion, Leamy and Redmond had to hold Parnell back when he tried to swing for Irish nationalist and MP Justin McCarthy. Edmund Leamy died in 1904, and there is much debate as to whether he was in Liverpool or the south of France at the time. His remains currently reside in the cathedral in Waterford City" From: www.waterfordlive.ie/news/home/471970/what-s-in-a-name-th... And Sexton... Thomas Sexton ( Waterford 1848 – November 1, 1932 ) was an Irish politician of the Irish Nationalist Party and later the Irish Parliamentary Party . Sexton was born in Waterford in 1848 and attended the local schools. At the age of 13 he began working for the Waterford & Limerick Railway Company , a railway company. Six years later he joined The Nation , a weekly newspaper. In 1880 Sexton was elected to the House of Commons and served until 1896. In 1887 he was High Sheriff of Dublin . He then held the office of Lord Mayor of Dublin for two consecutive terms in 1888 and 1889 . [1] From 1892 to 1912 he was chairman of the Freeman's Journal . The street on which his birthplace stood was renamed Sexton Street in his honor. Love how A.H. Poole & Co. are reflected in the window.

    "Stephen Polito (also known as Stephano, Stephani and Stephanus Polito; 1763/64–1814) was a menagerie owner of Italian descent in Georgian England.
    Polito was born in Moltrasio, Italy. He owned a menagerie which he toured around England in the late 18th century. He went into partnership with another menagerist named Miles in 1798, and "Miles and Polito's Menagerie" exhibited at St Bartholomew's Fair in 1799. Polito's menagerie also attended Nottingham Goose Fair in 1807. ... ...

    Early 1908, a notice with similar wording appeared in Saunders's News-Letter on Tuesday 26 January 1808.

    Mr Pollito had been in Briston in September 1807.

    The adverts in Saunders News-letter continued until 14th May 1808, At some point between 26th January and 4th March the admission price was reduced to "One British Shilling".

    So some time between 26th early January and 4th March 1808.

    Of course, the Zoo didn’t open until 1831, so these were great novelties
