This view of a cottage at Killarney, in County Kerry in southwestern Ireland, shows a rural dwelling rather than the lakes and hotels that drew most visitors. The record gives no date, but the negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that distributed news and feature photographs. The title, which the record marks as unverified, calls it a peasant home, a label common in captions of the period for Irish country cottages. Such pictures were often used to illustrate rural life for distant readers, so the building and its surroundings are worth studying closely.
