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?
With confirmation that this is taken from the gardens of Glenart Castle County Wicklow, we are happy to note that this tower is still standing. A nicely framed shot, it's interesting to note that French took several shots from the exact same spot....

Interesting Red Herring... HMHS Glenart Castle, a British WW1 hospital ship was torpedoed 100 years ago, on 26 February 1918. [https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/8560086846/]en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMHS_Glenart_Castle

Ha! Mr French was there at 14:01 - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000332828 Ed. And again at 14:10 - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000321618 Spot the differences!

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. ...

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/beachcomberaustralia] If you wanted to be invited to a Glenart shooting party, it helped to have a handle to your name. I suspect 'Mr' Bersford is connected to this bunch.

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.
