One of the pics, Boys on the Shore (1884), is from Finland and the artist is Albert Edelfelt, who was one of the first Finnish artists to achieve international fame. He enjoyed considerable success in Paris and was one of the founders of the Realist art movement in Finland. He influenced several younger Finnish painters and helped fellow Finnish artists such as Akseli Gallen-Kallela to make their breakthrough in Paris.
Always wondered what NYPD were singing while the bells were ring out on christmas day.
An incredible talent was Bing Crosby, my old man brought me up on this among others.

Thanks Laura. I'm not Irish either, but it's a wonderful song and a beautiful version by Bing.
