pinafores

The full title in the catalogue is School treat, Fanny Mason, 1904. Group of school girls dressed in pinafores holding floral bouquets older girl holds larger bouquet, perhaps winner of competition. There is a Fannie Mason aged 10 in the 1901 census of Clonbrock, a farmer's daughter. From the title, Fanny is in the photo holding a bouquet, but not the oldest with the largest bouquet. I would guess the girl smiling in the middle?

Excellent!!

Great bonnets!

The Robert Emmet stone isn't there yet ... In 1969 and thirteen years ago
