    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacia_Napierkowska Stacia Napierkowska (16 September 1891 – 11 May 1945) was a French actress and dancer, who worked during the silent film era. She appeared in 86 films between 1908 and 1926. In 1913, she was arrested during a performance of one of her dances in New York City when it was declared indecent. After returning to France, Napierkowska said, "Really, I have not brought away a single pleasant memory from the United States" and "What a narrow-minded people they are -- how utterly impervious to any beautiful impression!"

    When you see the kids in these century-old photos, and reflect on the fact that the subjects lived their lives - no matter how long they lived - and are gone, you're made to wonder about all that happened in the intervening years... And just think: her great-grandchildren (if indeed she had children; if indeed she lived through the later flu pandemic circa 1918; or survived polio, or measles...) could be browsing through the images in flickr, unaware that she's pictured here, looking out that window at god-knows what sort of miserable industrial vista...

    Another sign, easier to read here - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000737992/ - says 'Donegal Real Hand Crafted Carpets for the Royal Garden Hotel, Kensington ... '

    beachcomber australia Donegal Carpets closed in 1987, according to your Wikipedia article, but...
    Local Donegal people petitioned the government to help re-open them in 1997 and in 1999 they were making carpets again for places such as Áras an Uachtaráin, Dublin Castle and the University of Notre Dame.
    HUZZAH!
