Back caption reads,
"BLARNEY CASTLE. Situated five miles from Cork City, the castle
is famous for its Stone, which has the traditional power of conferring eloquence
on all who kiss it. The word 'Blarney' has found its way into the English language and has
been described as pleasant talk, intended to deceive without offending.
T
he famous Stone is set in the wall below the battlements, and to kiss it, one has to lean backwards
(grasping an iron railing) from the parapet walk."
