Happy St Patrick’s Day! This image was a gift from the New Milford Historical Society after my presentation there. Somewhere around the turn-of-the-century and between Kilkee and Clonmel, Ireland artist photographer Peter Collins would take your picture and then offered to enlarge it to “life-size“ or paint it in oil or water-color. I don’t know if anyone ever took him up on the offer but this tiny Irish lass might have. I wish I could find more about him but alas, it’s a long long way to Tipperary.... #found #photography #newmilfordhistoricalsociety #foundphoto #stpatricksday #lass #estatesale #urbanarcheology
