    If this was taken in Chancellor's Dublin studio, she would have just used the movable boudoir, thus obviating the trouble of ascending the stairs.

    Here's how she looked in a 1887 portrait by John Butler Yeats - Katharine Tynan (1859–1931)
    From - mypoeticside.com/poets/katharine-tynan-poems

    This biography says she married and went to live in London in 1893, which would have made a trip on Chancellor's movable boudoir difficult. - dib.cambridge.org/viewReadPage.do?articleId=a8692

    ah but from 1914 to 1919 she was in Mayo (Wikipedia) and was yet another one of WB Yeats love interests ....
  • Niall McAuley said:
    At wikipedia. She was in England for the censusses of 1901 and 1911, I think. The archive has another photo with those glasses from the Yeats portrait.
  • John Spooner said:
    Her glasses got a mention in the Belfast Newsletter in an announcement of her death: "Her portrait from that period looks down from the wall of Dublin's Harcourt Street Gallery - with eager, parted lips, and short-sighted eyes, questioning life behind their glasses."

NOT the Butt of any jokes!

    Younger, firmer Butt - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000286624
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Per the DIB: Butt was Conservative MP for Harwich from May to July 1852, being elected later that year for Youghal, holding the seat until defeated in the election of July 1865; he sat for Limerick from September 1871 until his death. 1879 Also: Home Government Association established at a meeting in May 1870. This initiative developed in part from the ‘Limerick Declaration’ of 1867, signed by a large number of catholic clergy and organised by Richard Baptist O'Brien (qv), dean of Limerick, himself one of Butt's closest political confidants during these years. I don't see any earlier connection to Limerick, so the pic may date from 1871-79?

    Is Mrs Flynn the only [edited] commercial [edited] woman photographer/studio owner we've had in all these years, aside from Elinor Wiltshire? Or am I going soft in my dotage?
