The photograph

Letters from the Landscape

I must have driven past the Rock of Cashel dozens of times over the years. Always glancing up from the N8, always thinking I'd come back properly. This was the evening I finally did.

The sun was low in the west, throwing warm light directly onto the stone walls and the round tower. Partly cloudy sky, which is exactly what you want. Enough cloud to catch colour, enough gaps to let the light through. The Galtee Mountains were disappearing into a band of haze along the ridge, and the whole Tipperary countryside was rolling away flat and green to the horizon.

What made this photograph was the boundary wall. From ground level you barely notice it, but from above it becomes the whole composition. One long, unbroken curve tracing the contours of the limestone hill, holding the cathedral ruins, the round tower, Cormac's Chapel, the graveyard with its carved Celtic crosses, all within its sweep. The seat of the high kings of Munster before the Church took it over in the 12th century.

The scaffolding on Cormac's Chapel is part of a major OPW conservation project that began in 2009 to preserve Ireland's earliest surviving wall frescoes, dating from the 1100s. Practically medieval itself at this stage! I'm glad I finally stopped driving past.

Every print

  • Made to order

    Every print is made to order: printed, checked, signed, and packaged for you individually.

  • Hand-signed

    Every print is signed. Unframed and framed prints are signed and titled by hand on the white border beneath the photograph.

  • Archival

    Archival inks on museum-grade materials. Unframed and framed prints are Giclée prints on cotton rag paper.

  • Safe arrival

    Prints are well-packaged, tracked and insured. If one arrives damaged, I'll replace it at no cost.

Before you buy

When will it arrive?

You'll get an email with tracking as soon as it ships. If it's for a date, a birthday, an anniversary or a new home, add a note at checkout or email me at info@petercox.ie. I'll do my best to prioritise it and give you a realistic timeline.

What does shipping cost?

I ship worldwide, and every print from Exhibition size up goes free to Ireland, the UK and Europe. Studio prints and books carry a small charge, and the cost for the size you've chosen is shown under the Add to Cart button. The full table is on our Shipping page, and you'll see the exact cost at checkout before you pay. Every parcel is tracked and insured. Within the EU there's no customs duty; outside it, any import duty or tax is the buyer's to pay.

Does the size include the frame?

Yes. A framed size is the whole frame, edge to edge: 3 inches bigger each way than the print inside it. An unframed size is the sheet of paper, including the white border where I sign and title each print by hand. Canvas and Floating Panel sizes are the face of the piece.

Which finish should I choose?
  • Unframed Museum-quality Giclée print on archival cotton rag paper. Choose your own frame.
  • Framed Black wood frame, glazed with acrylic so it travels safely, with a mount on Exhibition and Feature sizes. Ready to hang.
  • Canvas Gallery-wrapped canvas.
  • Floating Panel Mounted on a 3 mm aluminium composite panel, made in-house. Frameless, no glass, ready to hang. Best for modern interiors and maximum impact.
Can I see it on my wall first?

★★★★★Memory
My wife, son and I visited the Rock on our first day ever in Ireland. We have never forgotten that trip and now we can see it every day in Peter’s photo and recall all of the memories we made on that West Coast trip.
