    La Belle Province Well, we'll just have to provide more be-hatted pictures to captivate you... :)

    Jug-ears at the back there looks familiar. Did we have him in a different photo?
  • Probable Ice said:
    no kitchen staff in this one. even among the servants there was a class system. wonderful picture.

Baron and Baroness de Neufligne (or Neuflize)

    de Neuflize? If this is the same Baron Jean de Neuflize (1850-1928) he was a French banker who's main claim to fame was winning a bronze at the Paris 1900 Olymipics for Mail Coach driving.
  • bawdy kittens said:
    As O Mac says I suspect this is the Parisian banker Baron Jean Poupart de Neuflize and his wife. Their only daughter Roberte (born 1892) married Vere Brabazon Ponsonby, son of Edward Ponsonby, Viscount Duncannon (later Earl of Bessborough).
  • O Mac said:
    Possibly taken at Bessborough , Piltown, Co Kilkenny. Poole has our Baron there with group and another Bessborough photograph of a vase/urn matching the one in the photo.
  • derangedlemur said:
    O Mac The map matches, anyway: maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,646779,622713,12,9
  • O Mac said:
    Bessborough was burnt down in 1923 and rebuilt 1929 to accommodate use as convent and then became an agricultural college, post-1944. (NIAH) So 1901 to Pre 1923.. His homburg would suggest post 1910
