Mucross Lake and Lough Leane, Killarney, 1858. Creator: Unknown
Mucross Lake and Lough Leane, Killarney, 1858. Tour of the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. His Excellency the Earl of Eglinton (says the "Munster News") is about to take advantage of this beautiful weather, and make a tour of some length through our unequalled island. He is to visit Killamcy and make acquaintance - we hope a familiar one - with its glories. He leaves Dublin on Wednesday next...[and] will proceed through Pallas to Killarney, and there, it may bo hoped, he will adopt for his sojourn the Lake Hotel, whence the finest and most fascinating views are beheld over the broad and bright lake along the enchanting peninsula of Mucross'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

Mucross Lake and Lough Leane, Killarney, 1858: A Scenic Tour with the Earl of Eglinton This image, taken from the "Illustrated London News" in 1858, showcases the breathtaking beauty of Mucross Lake and Lough Leane in Killarney, County Kerry, Ireland. The scene is set against the backdrop of a picturesque countryside, with rolling hills and lush greenery stretching out in every direction. At the time of this photograph, His Excellency the Earl of Eglinton, Archibald William Montgomerie, 13th Earl of Eglinton and 1st Earl of Winton, was embarking on a tour of Ireland in his capacity as Lord-Lieutenant. The "Munster News" reported that he would be making a stop in Killarney, where it was hoped he would make a lengthy stay at the Lake Hotel. The hotel, as described in the article, offered unparalleled views of the lake and peninsula of Mucross. The Earl of Eglinton's tour of Ireland came during a time when the country was gaining increasing popularity among tourists. The "Illustrated London News" was a leading source of information and entertainment for the British public, and its publication of this image served to further promote the natural wonders of Ireland to a wider audience. This engraving, which is both black and white and rich in detail, captures the essence of rural life in Ireland during the nineteenth century. The tranquility of the scene is a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of urban life, offering a glimpse into a simpler time. The image invites us to imagine the Earl of Eglinton taking in the breathtaking views of Mucross Lake and Lough Leane, and to appreciate the natural beauty of this enchanting corner of Ireland.
