    She can't be painting the insignia free-hand. Either the photo is staged, or she's just touching up the edges. Her arms are resting on the painted surface, so it must be dry. Bad form, resting a paint can on a fabric-covered wing.

    Flickr is sometimes amazing! A very short bio including this photo, via Westmeath Libraries Wikipedia is a bit thin - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Keegan_Casey The "Leo" nickname was evidently a nom de plume when he had his first work published aged 16, according to this Trove 1890 article, which has a few other gems. He died aged 23 in 1870 and 50,000 people attended his funeral - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/164858030

    In the trove article, it mentions the Mation newspaper . . . John Mitchel, one of the 13 young Irelanders was the editor/maybe owner, I don't exactly recall.
