EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting Clare Island, nestled at the entrance of Clew Bay in County Mayo, Ireland. Dating back to approximately 1870, this image showcases the breathtaking beauty of this historic island that was once home to the legendary pirate queen Grainne O Malley. The picture is a fascinating engraving from "Picturesque Europe - The British Isles, Vol. II", published by Cassell, Petter & Galpin in London during the 19th century. It offers a glimpse into rural life in Ireland during that era. In the foreground of the image, we see a man on horseback traveling along an avenue lined with trees. This scenic road leads towards a circular lighthouse perched on top of a hill overlooking Clew Bay. The distant view captures the serene landscape and rustic charm of Clare Island. As we admire this historical photograph, it's impossible not to appreciate its artistic value and attention to detail. The monochromatic tones add depth and evoke a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. This print by The Print Collector/Heritage Images transports us through time and space, allowing us to immerse ourselves in Irish history and folklore. It serves as both an educational tool and an aesthetic delight for those who appreciate literature, regionalism, or simply seek inspiration from picturesque landscapes.
