Irish Times article on Annie Brophy

Interesting...

Note also there will be a documentary on TG4.

interesting article, i'd say the documentary would be good as well.
it might sound a bit cliched but she was ahead of her time.
in my parents house there are a couple of photos taken by her around 40 or 50 odd years ago and people still comment on them

They held a gallery in town recently of her work which attracted decent numbers. My grandparents house had a family portrait which was sadly lost to us a number of years back. After reading that article it seems she left 65000 negatives to the Waterford City Archive. I wonder would it be possible to get a copy made if the negative is included. Would make for a great present, has anyone ever used the archive in this manner?

They were discussing her on Moncrieff this afternoon.

I heard that interview, thought it was pretty interesting too. Also, I never knew montessori schools started in our fine county
