One of our Flickr Commons users contributed this rather lovely pen portrait of dramatist, poet, and theatre producer Lennox Robinson (1886-1958): “When I knew him, he lived in a flat, large and comfortable, but still only a flat ... at Longford Terrace, Monkstown ... One of the great sights of Monkstown in those years was Lennox, a tall, thin, tweedy man with a distant expression, being led by a very tiny Sealyham dog, at the end of a very long lead, on his peregrinations to and from Goggins pub, the very epitome of the Irish expression ‘the relics of auld decency’.” (Tim Pat Coogan, Ireland in the Twentieth Century) Additional information about this photograph is available on the National Library of Ireland's Flickr Commons photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/49315089727/ Physical description: 1 photographic print : mounted, in mylar. b&w ; 19.7 x 25.3 cm ; more |
