Part 3 - Mary Redmond Photographs

4 items; black and white print

Photographic prints of the sculptor Mary Redmond. One of the images shows her at work on the Father Theobald Mathew Statue (O’Connell Street, Dublin). The presumed model for the statue is also present in this image. This photograph is dated 30 June 1891. Another print seemingly shows her memorial bust of William Limbrick Martin for the Phoenix Park RIC depot (the bust was moved in 1967 to the RUC headquarters, Belfast, and the remainder of the memorial is in St. James Church, Dublin).

The prints are faded and are slightly torn and frayed at the edges due to prior inappropriate storage. Careful manual handling of the volume and prints is required.
