Arthur Henri Poole - The Earl of Sligo and his lady
Summary
The Earl of Sligo in his plus fours in confident pose standing beside a lady who is not identified. Yesterday we had the Earl of Meath's residence but today, for Sligo, we have the man himself. What was Sligo doing down in Waterford with Mr. Poole?..The general consensus is that this is George Ulick Browne, 6th Marquess of Sligo ( http://www.thepeerage.com/p870.htm#i8698 ) (d.1935) and Agatha Stewart Hodgson, Marchioness of Sligo ( https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/person/mp63553/agatha-stewart-nee-hodgson-marchioness-of-sligo ) (d.1965). While a location is not confirmed, there are apparently other Poole shots attributed to Westport House (so Poole may have gone north - rather than the mountain coming to Muhammad). If taken after his elevation to the title, this image likely dates from after 1913......Photographer: A. H. Poole..Collection: Poole Photographic Studio, Waterford ( http://catalogue.nli.ie/Search/Results?lookfor=A.H.+Poole&type=Author&sort=title&view=grid ) ..Date: Catalogue range c.1901-1954. Likely after 1913 (George becomes 6th Marquess of Sligo). Before 1935 (death)...NLI Ref: POOLEWP 2766 ( vtls000593279 ) ..You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie ( http://catalogue.nli.ie )
