File:Carrigogunnell Castle Ruin Tower And House Adjoining Other Walls.jpg
All we had as a description was "Ruin tower and house adjoining other walls, people". Had hoped it'd prove a tad challenging, but 'twas not to be. Thanks very much to blackpoolbeach for identifying these ruins as Carrigogunnell (also Carrigogunnel) Castle!
Either way, also like this image for the spooky way that people seem to loom out of the background when you peer into all corners of it really carefully...
Date: 1860-1883
NLI Ref.: STP_1857
- Individual items in the Stereo Pairs Collection are catalogued under call no. STPA, title and subject
The Stereo Pairs Photograph Collection was acquired by the National Library with the Lawrence Collection, though it has always been considered a separate collection as the images cover an earlier period than the main Lawrence Collection, are a different format and were not created by the Lawrence firm. The stereographic negatives in the collection were the work of Dublin photographers James Simonton and Frederick Holland Mares and were acquired, probably purchased, by John Fortune Lawrence, a brother of William Mervyn Lawrence. They were printed and marketed by William Lawrence until the popularity of stereos waned in the 1880s.
Physical description: 3,059 stereographic negatives : glass ; 9.5 x 17 cm.
