    "I. P. League Office, Gable & [?]" - Title inscribed on verso of photograph.

    Perhaps Mr Gable is phoning his friend Dorothy ?!

    Foxglove Absolutely looks like it.
  • O Mac said:
    I assume "I.P.League" was the Irish Progressive League which had it's office at 229 Lexington Avenue. NY. The man on the phone might be the poet Peter Golden who was General Secretary and who along with his sister Helen founded the IP league.

    I could be convinced that the writing at the bottom, which is presumably where the Julia Bradshaw title comes from, also says Los Angeles

    On Kathleen O'Brennan, the dib.ie says In 1918/19, she undertook a lecture tour in the USA, speaking on Sinn Féin, the place of women in the Irish republic, and Feis Ceoil.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    From Wikipedia:
    According to research by historian Catherine M Burns, O'Brennan arrived in America in October 1914 and stayed there for longer than expected due to the difficulty of transatlantic travel during the First World War. Working as a journalist and lecturer, O'Brennan traveled to California and Oregon and spoke to women's organisations as an authority on the Gaelic league and Irish art and culture.

    Her lectures included details she got from her sisters and photos of Éamonn Ceannt and his son, Rónán.

    ... She became involved in the IWW through Dr Marie Equi, with whom she had a romantic relationship. When Equi was arrested, O'Brennan worked to see her released and continued to agitate until her own arrest in 1919 during the Red Scare....

    O'Brennan founded the Women's Irish Education League in San Francisco in May 1919.

    Burned down in 1966, and rebuilt - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Michael%27s_Cathedral_(Sitka,_Alaska)

    The original church burned to the ground in 1966, losing its handmade bells, the large icon of the Last Supper that decorated the top of the royal doors, and the clock in the bell tower. Also lost was the large library containing books in the Russian, Tlingit, and Aleut languages. Although the church was restored to its original appearance, one exception was its clock face, which is black in photographs taken before 1966, but white in subsequent photos. ...
