Part 23 - Damaged Chancellor Studio Photograph

1 p.; clipping

A clipping of a photograph taken from the Chancellor Studio on Lower Sackville (O’Connell) Street. The photograph is described as a ‘remarkable relic of the rebellion’ as it is riddled with shrapnel from the fighting during the insurrection. The image shows (left) Edward White Benson (1829-1896), Archbishop of Canterbury, and (right) William Conyngham Plunket, 4th Baron Plunket (1828-1897), the Anglican Archbishop of Dublin. The newspaper title from which the clipping was taken is not given.

The original photograph was published in 'The Sketch', Vol. XV, No. 193 (7 October 1896), p. 447. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Edward_White_Benson_(1829%E2%80%931896)_and_William_Plunket,_4th_Baron_Plunket_(1828%E2%80%931897).png
