    Description

    Vintage Continental-sized (approx. 4x6) chrome postcard with a view of the Church of SS Peter and Paul
    and River Shannon bridge at Athlone in County Westmeath.
    A blue tractor is among the vehicles on the span.
    Photo by R. Beer.
    Front caption reads, "Athlone and River Shannon, Co. Westmeath, Ireland."
    Back caption reads,
    "ATHLONE, CO. WESTMEATH: On the river Shannon where it marks the boundary between
    Leinster and Connaught, Athlone is the 'capital' of the midlands. This is the principal
    marketing centre for the surrounding country and is an important harbour on Ireland's
    inland navigation system. The Church of SS Peter and Paul is an impressive structure in
    the Roman Renaissance style with twin spires and a graceful dome. Lough Ree, 1/2 miles
    north of Athlone, is an excellent angling centre."
    Card No. 2/343 published by John Hinde, Ltd., Cabinteely.
    Split back; used but not posted, with an inked note that reads,
    "To Elizabeth with love, Marium" and

    We motored to Athlone for Luncheon in The Prince of Wales Hotel.
    Love, Marium."
