Missing/Unknown Irish Ariststs and Illustrators

#1

Post by Del.Monte »

There are many but here's one that I keep coming across in my researches into Irish postcards - Scott Ingersoll. An unusual name and unsurprisingly there are no Ingersolls in either the 1901 or 1911 censuses. It appears as an American surname and in my mind I can only associate it with Ingersoll-Rand industrial equipment.

The cards are not things of beauty but I would still like to include some biographical information for the sake of completeness. The artist seems to have been active in the border counties in the 1970s (?) - possibly lived in Ballyjamesduff - and I would welcome any information. :)
