This would be from late 19/early 20 century. I know they exist and I would like to purchase a print but do not know where they are held.

"This watercolour of Glenbrook by the Irish painter John E Bosanquet was painted soon after the Victoria Baths and Family Hotel was opened in 1863. Bosanquet is known to have been visiting Cork in 1863 and this seems the most probable date for the painting."

"By 1929, the Royal Victoria Baths were derelict. The remains of the building were used to fill in the old swimming pool. The corner wall at the southern end is all that remains evident of the Royal Victoria Baths today."
