Arthur Henri Poole - Top Hats, Trilbys and Bowlers

A fine image from the Poole Collection of a wedding group commissioned by Mr. Cornelius Phelan, Kilganey House, Clonmel! The ladies in their finery including necklaces, fur stoles and hats are matched by the gentlemen, both reverend and lay, with top hats, trilbys and bowler hats. While most of the apparel appear to be rather somber, the young lady gives a splash of light and colour to the group!..While -unusually- we have not yet established the details of the wedding party, ofarrl ( /photos/33577523@N08/ ) suggests a location: the garden alongside the Grand Hotel in Tramore. This is corroborated by other contributors, the StreetView ( https://goo.gl/maps/x97NnUEr7Ey ) , and the front-doors in the background.......Photographer: A. H.
