He obviously took the piper who used to be on the 50 pound note [who in turn was taken from a photograph from the Lawrence collection] an stuck a new head on him. Not a very original idea.
Now that you mention it, I vaguely remember the other piper drawing. And yes it does look very simular. It may be intentional, since most of the ‘other drawings’ at his site are from a Folk festival in Ireland.
I wonder if there is some inside joke at the site the I don’t see. Is the Ballyshannon Traditional Folk Festival a real festival?
O well, some of the other prints look nice, but perhaps, thats the unschooled tourist in me … maybe just a wee bit of Green Beer syndrome.
Speaking of which. 50 pound notes make for a nice framed “print.”

Provided that you have 50 quid to spare!!! 
What are they doing with all those old notes and coins now that the Euro has come?

The old pound notes were shredded. You could actually buy for a while made of the [recognisable] shreds to light a fire. Money to burn.
The photo in the Lawrence collection is a very often abused one, hence my reaction above, 'god, another one’it’s been done a bit too often.
Lawrence did a massive project photographing Ireland, every square, church and land,ark in the country was photographed by him, he also included some scenes of Irish life, among them the piper [his name escapes me].
The original glass-plates Lawrence used are held in the National Library of Ireland. During the early 80s I was in there and had prints made of the shots of the piper, some six plates in all. It was remarkably cheap at the time, 4 pound a print. Was worth it.
Peter, do you offer prints of those originals for sale?
Huh?
I don’t have the plates, the National Library does, you can probably still get them from them. I only had a few prints made by them.
Sorry Peter. I didn’t mean to imply that I thought you had the original plates. I only used the word “original” because I didn’t want you to think I meant the picture above. Thanks. -Paul
Fair enough. But me buying prints from the Library and copying them to sell them on would be highly inappropriate wouldn’t it?

Here’s the real photograph:
Elbogo, I thought you only had a practice set. You been holding out on us? 
Huh? What are you talking about?
