Description
Landscape with view into a valley with lake, cottages with smoking chimneys in the middle-distance, two figures on a hill above, another sitting beside road with pack over shoulder in the foreground. Etched below title: 'This singularly romantic Spot is situated seventeen Miles from Dublin, and formed by the inmost recess of a deep Valley environed by steep Mountains. In the distance is seen the Lake, and to the left the Road leading to the Capital. A neat Banqueting house erected in the Glen, speakes the chaste Taste of its Proprietor. Peter La Touche, Esq, but for its distinguishing features it is indebted to Nature only. This View is taken from a rising Ground at the rear of the Lodge'.
