John Cardinal Murphy Farley (April 20, 1842 - September 17, 1918) was an Irish-American prelate, the seventh bishop (fourth archbishop) of the Roman Catholic diocese of New York. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Cardinal_Farley

Top of plate says (St. Pat Day '13) so I assume this was 1913.

Which contains this quote: " Cardinal Farley occupied the place of honor in the middle of the second row in the reviewing stand. Seated at his left were Gov. Sulzer and Mayor Gaynor On his right were Adjt Gen Hamilton and Mgr Lavelle. Seated in the front row were Mgr. McGean, Commissioner Edwards of the Department of Street Cleaning, Police Commissioner Waldo and Mgr. James Mooney." Although this particular photograph does not precisely reflect the seating order in that reporter's account.

Deerbourne: Thanks. We'll fix the date in the source data and reload the description.

lifeasdaddy: Thanks. We'll look into adding these additional names to our source catalog!

The blue sky is the give away!!! Streetview

O Mac That "blue sky" is my coat! I organised a very arty photoshoot on our office windowsill, with shamrock bought around the corner tastefully arranged on my coat. Stylists, eat your heart out! :D

National Library of Ireland on The Commons And to you too young lady....

Thank you! And to you.

Thanks, you too. Very lovely.

I was just saying to myself that we have had some cracking photos over the past few weeks! (no comments needed on the topic of talking to yourself!)

On the 25" map, a paper mill. It's on the 1830s 6" map, too. A housing estate is being built there now called Drury Mills, others nearby are called Millrace Crescent, Gardens etc. Founded in the mid 17th century according to southdublinlibraries, and open until the 1970s.

Last time on NLI:

southdublinhistory: For much of their history the mills were driven by a huge water wheel on the river Camac, at the upper mill; it was said to be the largest waterwheel in Ireland. Also: famous for their Ancient Irish Vellum and Erin brands I remember at least one Vellum brand, I wonder if it was this one? Finally: Apparently named after the former Dean of St Patrick’s, Jonathan Swift, in whose prebendary Saggart was located

I found an old pad in a drawer, and no - the Vellum I remember (and still have a few sheets of) was Fine Irish Vellum by Wiggins Teape on the East Wall.
