Many of these were taken at his home near Naas, and the images show his family, his stately home, landscapes, studies of the River Liffey and various buildings, and with some taken at properties in France where his family had connections.The collection consists of the following;A. Portfolio of large mounted Original Photographs, each approx. 9" x 11 1/2", and all with manuscript captions on mounts:1. "On the Liffey," Morristown Lattin, 18692. "Terrace Walk," Morristown Lattin, 18703. "The Long Walk," Morristown Lattin, 18754. "The Weir - Liffey," Morristown Lattin, 18765. "River Walk," Morristown Lattin, 18786.

Portfolio of Small Negatives25 - Landscape studies of trees, rivers and buildings, each approx. 8" x 10"D. Portfolio of Large Negatives10 Family Portraits & Groups, each approx. 12" x 15"E. Portfolio of Small Negatives14 - Family Portraits & Groups, each approx. 8" x 10".Together with the above, the Archive also includes George Mansfield's Competition Medals, as follows:One bronze Medal for 1884, issued by Photographic Society of Ireland, to George Mansfield For Landscape, 'Pas de Roland' No. 76.One bronze Medal for 1887, issued by Photographic Society of Ireland to George Mansfield.One bronze Medal issued to George Mansfield, 1890 'For Society Work,' and Two silver Medals for 1896, issued by Photographic Society of Ireland, awarded to George Mansfield, For Landscape & For Artistic Merit. All in all, an outstanding Archive of Early Irish Photographic Material.** George Mansfield was originally an Apothecary or Chemist with a shop at 2 Lower Camden Street, Dublin in 1850. At the same time, his brother had a Fancy Goods Shop at 90 Grafton Street. In 1856, he joined the Dublin Photographic Society. By 1857 he had joined George Yeats at No. 2 Grafton Street, where they were offering a photographic service, as well as selling optical and photographic equipment. During the 1860's George joined his brother at 60 Grafton Street, as Mansfield's Brothers, where they sold general fancy goods, pianos, and other musical instruments and had a photographic studio located on the 1st floor. When the Prince of Wales visited Dublin, for the Opening Ceremony of the Dublin International Exhibition which was held in Earlsfort Terrace, George Mansfield received the commission to photograph him, and by all accounts sales of his carte de visit portrait of the Prince must have been very lucrative. Mansfield's chemical knowledge served him well, when in 1879 he made an important discovery which had the effect of greatly increasing the speed of the newly introduced dry plate process. He appears to have exploited this discovery financially as he was soon to be found living in Morristown Lattin, a large house near Naas. Towards the end of the Century he became a regular contributor to both the British Journal of Photography and Photographic News, the two leading British photographic periodicals at the time. He also immersed himself in the local area and became a Justice of the Peace. In 1898 his name figured on the Grand Jury at the Kildare Assizes, joining such people as Lord Walter Fitzgerald, a son of the Duke of Leinster and other gentry. He was President of the Photographic Society of Ireland in 1890-1892. Literature: Photography in Ireland 19th Century, by Edward Chandler
