Ross Castle, Killarney, in 1881 (vintage engraving)
Ross Castle in Killarney, Ireland, here looks overgrown and ruined; today it looks more solid and has a furnished interior. It was probably built in the fifteenth century. This nineteenth-century engraving is designed to make the castle look romantic, and to provoke a sense of nostalgia about the past. Production tip: this is a black and white (actually greyscale) illustration scanned from a 100+ year old book. You may get best results for print by blurring and then downscaling, then sharpening a little and thresholding as needed.
