Thanks for uploading. The class distinction is patently clear. Well-off ppl could commission portraits or take their own photographs, so they were 'subjects', but poor ppl were 'objects'.
My family are from Wexford co. and many of my kin frequently go back, though I'm unable to travel due to disability. We have a few photos brought over in the late 1800s and early 1900s, in two waves. I have my great great gran's steamer trunk from the journey, and we are so fortunate that the family has been able to keep our farm in Pennsylvania operating since the 1800s. The farmhouse is built around the original cabin, so we have a Lot of history stored there.
That first picture reminder me when I was a boy a tramp,as we called then in england,living in bombed out houses just after the war...many thanks miss.
Not sure what led my dad's family to leave co. claire around 1870, They were anglo-irish catholic. They ended up in Buffalo, NY. I had 8 siblings and although part german through my mom, i can definitely see the irish imprint on our faces and of course we were all somewhat silly as kids.
You'd need to read up some Irish History from that time. Catholic Emancipation was only enacted in 1829. After the devastating potato crop failures in successive years (think what rice crop failures would do to Asian ppl) that removed over 2 million ppl, there were rebellions in 1848 & 1867. Then the 'Land League' movement agitated for more rights & better treatment of small landholders regarding 'The three F's' - Fair Rent, Fixity of Tenure, Freedom to Sell'.
Jag minns och jag blir djupt berörd av bilderna. Påminns hur det verkligen var på olika sätt i republiken i slutet av 60-talet när jag var där. Att åka till nord-irland på den tiden var farligt och jag avstod därför att åka dit. Dessutom var mina sympatier knutna till katolikerna. Åkte annars runt nästan "överallt" i sällskap med P som var från Westmeath. Jag var och är svensk
Takk for at du ser på og kommenterer. Ja, det var sikkert en farlig tid i nord den gangen, jeg vokste opp her på 1970- og 1980-tallet og det var alltid en frykt i bakhodet selv som barn.

More great photos THANK YOU!!!
I have never been in Ireland but I hope to know the emerald Ireland someday, I am Spanish and I always felt admiration for that country.
Very interesting photos.
Thanks from Galway.
You are welcome, from Meath😊
