A working breakfast. - a photo on Flickriver

A working breakfast.

This could prove to be a stumbling block in the pantheon of successes we have had in identifying people, places and times. An image of three men at a breakfast table with all the accoutrements for the petit dejeuner and especially a fine, big teapot. I love the piping for the gas light over their heads!

While some have pointed out the "Collins-esque" nature of the chap on the left it is most probable that these are associates of photographer and med student JJ Clarke. It's even plausible that these are his boarding "room mates" at St. Alban's Road in Dublin. The 1901 census shows Clarke boarding with two chaps named William Flynn and Godfrey Ross. (Eminently plausible methinks...)
