| Summary: | Inis Meáin islandman [Martin McDonagh] in the same location as 11332/28 above but more informal pose. Mc Donagh is accompanied by a young island boy in traditional homespun clothes and leather boots. Lilo Stephens conjectures that this may have been the boy who occasionally read Irish to Synge when Mc Donagh was busy and who had wanted to be photographed in his Sunday clothes rather than homespun. Description based on information found in My wallet of photographs: the collected photographs of J. M. Synge, arranged and introduced by Lilo Stephens (Dublin: Dolmen Editions, 1971).Date: approximately 1898-early 1900s. |
