    Does that photo look like it was tinted
    What I,m thinking is that that was an older photo enhanced
    by
    Leon Dome...a photographer artist of 10 Sarsfield Quay

    Dome is spelt with a dot above the letter e..( i cannot do it on this keyboard)



    Did those people in the photo live near there

    Here is negative image of the name showing a dot over the letter e (as in)..... Dome
    The full name reads
    L ( full stop) .... Dome

    I,ve gone back years in the directories and newspapers using wildcard searches and nothing turns up that would match

    • I knew you'd find something John! That certainly looks like a possibility.

      • His signature on the census return is certainly similar to the name on the photo, but then that was fairly standard writing at that time.

          Here is a 1910 directory showing him at number 10

              It looks like Leon Dome worked in different photo studios before setting up in Sarsfield
              53a Rathmines road was one also under his own name

                Rathmines was one
                That would be more of a match.....they ended up in Donnybrook....

                      You're spot on there JD ....here's the identical signature from a different pic.

                      Name: Leon Dome Registration District: Dublin North
                      Event Type: DEATHS Registration Quarter and Year: Oct - Dec 1915
                      Estimated Birth Year: 1866 Age (at Death): 49
                      Volume Number: 2 Page Number: 398
                      From Thom's 1904 : Sarsfield Quay (formerly Pembroke quay)

                      The 1914 edition lists Leon sharing the address with a bootmaker.

                      Michael Clarke, bootmaker.......L. Dome, photographer

                      That would narrow the possible date of the pic sometime between 1904 and Leon's death in 1915..

                          Think the retouch up is more likely.....

                                Yes, he couldn't have taken the original photo as he wasn't alive in 1854! Other than a retouch, can we rule out an older relative in the same profession?
