The waterfall in the newly restored Kilfane Glen in County Kilkenny, Ireland. Influenced by Rousseau and the Romantic Movement of the late 18th century, the exquisite garden was conceived by the cultured originators, Sir John and Lady Power in the 1790s. A mile-long canal was constructed, at the end of which the water tumbled 30 feet down a craggy rock face into the pool below. As time passed, and the idyllic scene gradually disintegrated, probably because later generations of the family lost interest. It might have remained that way but for its resurrection by Bennettsbridge potter, Nicholas Mosse and his wife Susan. Along with the restored cottage Orné, paths were reopened and the canal, waterfall and stream repaired. This image appears in "Irish Follies and Whimsical Architecture" by George Munday and published by O'Brien Press in Dublin.
