Monument to Sir Henry Barron. : commissioned by The Marquis de Pons

Another visit to the wonderful collection from the Poole studio in Waterford. Each time I upload one of this collection I think how lucky Waterford is to have their history recorded so beautifully and preserved for posterity by AH Poole! I know that there is at least one place named after Sir Henry but who was he and why did the Marquis commemorate him so?..Several contributors provide information on this memorial (and the man it commemorates). Oaktree_brian_1976 ( /photos/66151649@N02/ ) provides a link which describes ( https://armorial.library.utoronto.ca/stamp-owners/BAR006 ) Sir Henry (Page Turner*) Barron (1824-1900) as a career politician as a career politician and diplomat...(* Yes. Page-Turner. We laughed too :) )......Photographer: A. H. Poole..Collection: Poole Photographic Studio, Waterford ( http://catalogue.nli.ie/Search/Results?lookfor=A.H.+Poole&type=Author&sort=title&view=grid ) ..Date: c.8 November 1927..NLI Ref: POOLEWP 3466 ( vtls000594075 ) ..You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie ( http://catalogue.nli.ie )
