    This is gorgeous! What a beautiful scene. I don't know why but Cork/Kerry comes to mind, perhaps because some of the best finds came from down that way in the past????

    Hey Carol, I am but a - enough of the song writing. How would you describe the dog accompanying the other gent? Nice photo and again look at the quality of the image given the age of the photo? Wonderful stuff!

    Swordscookie Isn't it lovely? The water is quite incredible. Thought at first the dog was a spaniel, but now I'm veering towards a collie-type. What do you think?
  • Swordscookie said:
    I think he's wet!!!!! I thought collie as well but if I were as wet as he and had as much hair I reckon I might be of indeterminate breeding also?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Swordscookie Visit to Specsavers for me is indicated for the New Year! Have just realised there's two dogs - the wet one you're probably talking about (which I'd completely overlooked!) and a dry one sitting quietly beside the far fisherman. That's the one I was initially talking about! :D

    The salmon fishery at Belleek came up for sale at the Landed Estates Court in Dublin in July 1867. It was...
    held by fee-farm grant, all lessed to tenants, and producing together a net annual rental of £1,094 4s. 7d., on which there will be a very large increase on the expiration of the existing tenants’ leases, which are now subsisting only for one life, aged about 70 years ... The railway from Enniskillen to Bundoran has stations at Ballyshannon and Belleek, and there is now direct railway communication from these towns to Dundalk and Dublin, affording greatly increased facilities for conveying the salmon and eels to the English markets, and adding considerably to the value of the Fisheries.
    (Freeman’s Journal, 20 June 1867) Eels too. But they’re not sexy, so you don’t hear about eel ladders?

    First impression is that it is Mr Jaunty. Which might put the photo in the early 1880s?
