Description

Vintage Continental-sized (approx. 4x6") chrome postcard with a view of a thatched farmhouse
near Renvyle in the Connemara County of County Galway, Ireland.
Photo by John Hinde, FRPS.
Front caption reads, "Thatched Cottage, near Renvyle, Connemara, Co. Galway, Ireland."
Back caption reads,
"THATCHED COTTAGE, CONNEMARA. Connemara
is a region of supreme scenic grandeur in the West of Ireland. The
coastline is fretted and carved into hundreds of rocky inlets which are almost
indistinguishable from its numerous lakelets. This cottage is typical of the region --
thatched and whitewashed. The type of thatching varies according to the region,
and is often carefully pegged down to resist the winter storms. Many of them
have such wide fireplaces that several people can sit in under the chimney
beside the turf fire."
