Padraig Pearse. Rare original photograph in
New York 1914.
Vintage Contact Print. Rockwood Photo Studio,
New York City, 1914.
This can be considered a rare original print -
printed circa 1914 - 1916. The portrait of Pearse
was taken in 1914 at the the famed portrait stu-
dios of Rockwell in New York City during a fund
raising trip for St. Enda’s. This is a contact print
struck from the original negative - the image is
very sharp, unlike the softness associated with his
image in the copy prints, and is thus rare and very
useful for making enlarged scans.
