Portrait of Cesca Chenevix Trench
As someone who has recently renewed their passport I can reliably report that the subject never looks like the image in the passport! Cesca Chenevix Trench posing for her passport in 1917. Here is a lady with not one, not two, but three memorable names, yet I doubt that too many of us have heard of her before? Photographer: Unknown Collection: Coffey and Chenevix Trench Papers Date: Circa 1917 NLI Ref: MS 46,329/6/2 You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ieCredit: National Library of Ireland on The Commons
