    The Library of Congress is a great resource - they have helped me with queries I have emailed them from the UK before now.
    Excellent photo from the period - not sure for all its modern technical perfection the modern digital photo will be as evocative as older pictures whose very look seems to date them to an age.

    What's the difference between England and Ireland?

    In England, the situation is always serious but never desperate. In Ireland, it's the other way around...;-)
