J B Yeats and Susan L Mitchell(Langstaff)

[ShaneNZ]

Dear people of Sligo. I am Shane from Christchurch New Zealand.
For may years now I have owned a Shakespeare's Birthday Book containing some 900 autographs, Belonging once to Surgeon/ Dr Thomas Leslie Crooke 1861-1943. His paremts orignated from Birr County Offaly.
His brother George Douglas Crooke was once secretly engaged to Poet Susan L Mitchell born Dec 05 1866 and both autographed the book. George a military man died in a war.
I am unable to find a photo I can use of Susan as I piece their lives together.
Now I am led to belove that a Portrait of Susan Langstaff Mitchell is hanging in The Model/Mall in Sligo painted by J B Yeats when Susan lived with them.

I would like to know if some kind person could take a photo for me and send via e mail. I will make acknowlegement of this should I get a book published on Dr Crooke's life.

Thank you and kind regards. Shane Patrick Duffy.

Hello Shane,

Would it not be best to contact The Model http://themodel.ie as there may be copyright issues with photographing/publishing.
There may be options via the gallery.

Thank you Heywood Sadly I sent an e mail and never got a reply back. If a painting is displayed in public I'm sure any one is allowed to to take a photo of it just like a building or something else. I tried to contact  Hilary Pyle via publisher as she wrote a book named "The Red Headed Rebel" but also got no reply back.
