Catalogue Note
The present sketch is copied from a photograph of William Pollexfen, c.1890 (see reproduction in W. Murphy, The Prodigal Father, 1978, p.173). Cottie Yeats did not meet Jack until 1892 and it is therefore unlikely that she ever met his grandfather William in person, who died in 1892.
