A lovely tropical scene from the Clonbrock Collection that could be in the West Indies as easily as in the west of Ireland. To make things easy for the weekend we give you , not only the date, but the place as well? Glenart tower, is it still standing?
Tipping the servants was not encouraged at Glenart (1907) - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/219137492... For instance, Lord Carysfort, who owns some of the best shooting in Ireland, has had a box put up in a hall at Glenart Castle. In this the guests are requested to drop their tips, and the key is kept by the owner of the mansion. ...

I see Lord Clonbrook was there on 7th October 1903. I was going to suggest that the rest of the family were there taking photos of the grounds (including today's) while Lord C was adding to the rabbit death toll, but it looks a trifle too summery.
