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.

The paintings are no longer in The National Gallery of Ireland but hang in the Model Mall Sligo.

Gifted to the Niland Collection. I think it still depends on who owns the piece.

The collection is rotated so they could be back in the National Gallery now...

Hi Shane, I believe Susan L Mitchell painting is in a private collection in National Gallery of Ireland. My grandfather was her eldest brother.I'm (almost)sure there is a photo of her & Lily Yeats in "Red headed rebel". I will try to find out more.I have a photo of George (grandfather)and his children. I will keep you updated.Sincerely William F Mitchell.

Billy Mitchell So thankful to have read your message. Such a great family connection. It's been so difficult to get a copy of The Red Headed Rebel in NZ. I was only granted a short time from our University through then a student friend who was attending. The laws are quite demanding and confusing to a person like me when it comes to copyrights. Thank you William F Mitchell.

Hi Shane, Hope this might help.
