| Description |
This fine Poole portrait portraying probably the Lord Mayor of a city to end this week. The robes and chain are very ornate and he is seated on a very finely carved chair - but who is he and what was the office he held? Today's contributors, including [/photos/scorbet/ sharon.corbet], [/photos/gnmcauley/ Niall McAuley] and [/photos/20727502@N00/ guliolopez] spotted the coat or arms, motto and regalia as those of Waterford - so clearly this is a Waterford mayor. Given that the catalogue date of the image was 1927, it was originally thought that maybe this was John J. Wyley - who was mayor that year. However, various clues didn't support that suggestion (not least the age of the man, the name of the person who comissioned the photo, and a "copy" label in the catalogue entry). There is therefore much stronger evidence that the mayor pictured is Henry Grainger, who was mayor in 1898. It seems likely a family member (probably a daughter) commissioned a copy from the Poole studio during the 1920s.... Photographer: A. H. Poole Collection: Poole Photographic Studio, Waterford Date: c.3 September 1927 (likely date earlier photo was copied. Original may date to c.1898) NLI Ref: POOLEWP 3458 You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie |
