Image: Dr Vincent White in his Mayoral robes

Description: Was worried that it'd be difficult to find a photo taken on 29 February as it only rolls around once every four years, but the Poole Collection came to my rescue... This is Dr Vincent White in his Mayoral robes. Dr White was the first Sinn Féin Mayor of Waterford from 1920 to 1926, and is beautifully caricatured here (no. 91) in an image from Waterford County Museum. Some of you may remember that Vincent White featured on 1932 election posters advertising meetings at Ballytruckle and Aphonsus Road, Waterford in this photo from Thursday, 11 February 1932, and that he was married to Mrs E. White who commissioned this photo taken on Saturday, 2 February 1924... Date: Sunday, 29 February 1920 NLI Ref.: P_WP_2844
