ATTRIBUTED TO FREDERICK HOLLAND MARES

Killarney

c.1880 after an original of c.1860

Carbon print | 7.6 x 7.4 cm (image) | RCIN 2320116

Photograph of a view taken in Killarney, depicting a lake surrounded by land. There is a rocky outcrop in the foreground, covered in plants. In the background, on the right, is a mountain.

A carbon copy is adhered on top of the original albumen print. Carbon prints are more stable compared to albumen prints, the latter prone to fading. Carbon copies were therefore created for posterity.
