EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the 21st anniversary celebration of the Irish Literary Society in London and the National Literary Society of Ireland at Dublin, held in 1913. The event brought together prominent figures of Irish literary and cultural circles, gathered here in a warm and convivial atmosphere. Seated in the front row, we find Agnes O'Farrell, a notable Irish actress and member of the Irish National Theatre Society. Next to her, with his arm resting on the chair, is A.P. Graves, the renowned poet and editor of the Irish literary magazine, The Irish Homestead. Dr. Douglas Hyde, the President of the National Literary Society of Ireland, sits proudly in the center, with Dr. Sigerson, the founder of the Irish National Theatre Society, on his right. To Dr. Hyde's left is Mrs. Boyle, and on his far left is Mary Hayden, a prominent Irish actress and member of the Abbey Theatre. The gathering represents a significant moment in the history of Irish literature and culture, as these individuals played pivotal roles in promoting and preserving the Irish literary tradition during a time of great change and upheaval. The photograph, taken in 1913, is a testament to the enduring spirit of Irish literary and cultural heritage, and the importance of community and collaboration in fostering artistic and intellectual growth.
