Summary

Description

A visit to the Keogh Collection today and meeting a lugubrious looking gentleman named Mahaffy. The name is familiar to me somehow though I do not know why? He looks elderly in this shot so I expect that it was taken in the decade or so before his death in 1919?

Among resources provided by today's contributors are the Wikipedia entry and obituary for John Pentland Mahaffy (1839-1919). Best known as an academic and wit, Mahaffy was provost (the senior academic administrator) at Trinity. The consensus is that this image dates to perhaps a few years before his death in 1919....
