The album states that the images are from the Eyrefield and Old Connell Studs but the caption beneath one mentions a stud in Goodwood in the UK. Beautiful horses that today would probably be worth a king's ransom on display here in this album.
Photographer: Johnson family?
Date: Between 1920-1939 1903-1906?
NLI Ref.: ALB184

A visit to the ubiquitous Lawrence Collection today where the family when the photo was taken were clearly lovers of hounds. The house looks like a fine home rather than an ancestral pile and any family that loves dogs deserves to have been successful down the years so lets hope that that is what we find today?

The Gifford sisters, Muriel and Sidney, in a studio with an enormous dog will help us to start this week. We have seen Muriel in the past, but Sidney and the dog are newcomers to Flickr! The Gifford girls are well-remembered, but all too often for their choice of husband rather than their character, and there is no doubt but that they had character in buckets full!
