Signature: signed in the margin lower right; signed, titled and dated again on reverse; with artist's copyright stamps also on reverse Medium: original hand-printed silver gelatin print Dimensions: 34 by 51cm., 13.5 by 20in.

The Guinness Hopstore, Dublin hosted an exhibition of this series entitled, ‘The Last Wake: The Town and People of Athy 1961-1991’ in which some of these works featured more
