Summary

A timeless water and landscape scene from the Eason Collection today. We know where it is but what does it look like today I wonder? I must admit that my visits to Donegal have been few and far between, I must rectify that!..It transpires that we did not in fact know where it was. This is Lough Beagh not Lough Neagh as per our Catalogue. Thanks to BeachcomberAustralia ( /photos/beachcomberaustralia/ ) , sam2cents ( /photos/sam2cents/ ) and O Mac ( /photos/91549360@N03/ ) for their comments. ..Lough Beagh does look very good on the ORTHO 2005 Photograph ( http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,603373,922215,9,0 ) from our friends at Ordinance Survey Ireland (where would we be without them). Ortho rectified photographs are far more than just images taken from a satellite in space. Captured digitally orthophotography is corrected to allow for slopes and other distortions so that it corresponds exactly to large scale mapping, providing high levels of accuracy...Photographer: Unknown..Collection: Eason Photographic Collection ( http://catalogue.nli.ie/Collection/vtls000033799 ) ..Date: Catalogue range c.1900-1939..NLI Ref: EAS_1045 ( vtls000556871 ) ..You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie ( http://catalogue.nli.ie )
