There is more than a hint of the ghost of Christmas past in lot one at Dolan’s upcoming art and antiques auction at Rochestown Park Hotel, Cork on January 17. The catalogue is in the course of preparation, but lot one is a collection of 19th century photographs of locations around Cork city and county. As you can see, they are redolent of an era that is long gone. Here is a nostalgic sample:
Patrick St., Cork.
Kissing the Blarney Stone.
Queenstown – now Cobh – departure point for so many Irish emigrants to the New World.
The bridge at Inchigeelagh.
Sean Keating – Na fir an Oilean sold for 10,500.

The howling gales that blew around the marquee for this high season summer auction failed to deter buyers. The Yeats, with a top estimate of 85,000, was one of a number of lots which exceeded to high estimate.
