This is a scarce 1867 lithograph view illustrating the idyllic 'Meeting of the Waters' in the 'Vale of Avoca', County Wicklow, Ireland. The tranquil and bucolic scene features picknickers and hikers admiring the beautiful flowing waters while women gather buckets of the famously delicious water. Castle Howard's iconic towers rise in the background. The Meeting of the Water is formed by the conjunction of the Avonmore and Avonbeg Rivers - the great and little rivers. Today the Vale remains popular with hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. (more details)
