Great shot but looking at the line of litter along the bank they look like environmental vandals. Those Victorians certainly left a lot to be desired!!!

May I ask: Where do you find these images?

Swordscookie I'd hope they did pick it all up, or that at least the guides did...

Ah, I'd guess that their sense of litter-buggery, or vandalism was different from our own! Wouldn't you? And that someone among them picked up the paper... which would have degraded in any case... Cut the auld guys a bit o' slack..

Richard Eric In all areas of our photographic collections, Richard. The Pic of the Day is the most straightforward, in that I'm searching for photos taken on a particular date. The other photos that are uploaded every day can be serendipitous finds; have subject matter that I hope will be interesting to all of you; photos that I know some of you will know a hell of a lot more about than we do, so that when you comment, we learn more and can add that information to our NLI catalogue. Some photos I happen on because of other projects that are going on here at the National Library. Sometimes it's as simple as the fact that I have seen a photo and love it (or because it makes me laugh), and I hope it'll have the same effect on others....

If it is Kate Kearney's cottage the mountain behind has shrunk a lot since this photograph was taken. www.google.ie/maps/@52.040109,-9.631741,3a,75y,93.07h,80....

Beara Peninsula That's roughly where it's marked on the 25": maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,488060,588826,7,9

I guess it must have been ten yards further up the road: www.google.ie/maps/@52.039742,-9.63208,3a,75y,114.11h,85.... Edit: No, the modern OSI shows they're in the same place: maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,488032,588798,7,3

This photograph was not taken at what is now Kate Kearneys but here. www.google.ie/maps/@51.999878,-9.644749,3a,65.4y,221.41h,...

Looks a bit different to the photo on the Kate Kearney's Cottage website too.
