Early 1920's Countess Markizvicz [sic], Douglas Hyde (Back Row), Harry Boland? (Front Row)

We have two objectives today, firstly we are not giving up on the unnamed bishop in yesterdays photo, secondly we need to get this one done and dusted. Today's offering has an interesting description from our catalogue - which I have included above in full. I fully expect you to identify at least 10 people, the room we are in and the reason for the meeting. You know how evening Mary likes her trifectas, don't let her down!

And indeed evening Mary wasn't disappointed (she rarely is). With thanks especially to sharon.corbet we have confirmation that the reason for this meeting was the (slightly suspect sounding) "World Congress of the Irish Race". Held in Paris in late January 1922 under the (only slightly better sounding) title of "Congrès Irlandais" it was part of, according to the Times, early diplomatic efforts by the young Free State. In terms of the people pictured, we have confirmation of De Valera, Markievicz, Mary MacSwiney, Harry Boland, Hyde, a kilted Lord Ashbourne, and a selection of other Irish, French and international dignitaries. Sharon offers a higher quality version of the same image, in which the subjects are more easily discrenable, and which gives extra credence to the location and date. A contemporary report of the event is published on the Documents on Irish Foreign Policy website......
