A late 19th century view of an angler by the River Blackwater in Lismore, County Waterford, Ireland. Behind is the Cavendish Bridge, aka Lismore Bridge built in 1858. Towering above both is Lismore Castle, home of the Duke of Devonshire. It was largely re-built for William George Spencer Cavendish, 6th Duke of Devonshire, in the Gothic style by the architect William Atkinson from 1812 to 1822. In 1850 the 6th Duke engaged his architect Sir Joseph Paxton, the designer of The Crystal Palace, to carry out improvements and additions to the castle.
