Today’s post is a black and white studio portrait of Catherine (Katty) O’Brien née Thornhill from The O’Mara Papers.

The papers relate to the business and personal records of Stephen O’Mara Junior (1884-1959). The O’Maras were a prominent Limerick family, and ran the famous O’Mara’s Bacon Company.
