In addition to her diary, Jessica Taylor kept a small memo book, where she detailed her social engagements and significant dates.

This small black-and-white portrait was tucked into an internal pocket of the memo book. It was given to her by a soldier in the British army whose regiment moved to Dublin ‘for the Rebellion’.
