Irish Postcard BLARNEY CASTLE Stone Keep Ireland P O'Toole John Hinde 2/1714

Description

Continental-sized (approx. 4x6) chrome postcard with a view of the Blarney Stone,
high on the wall of Blarney Castle, County Cork, Ireland.
Photo by P. O'Toole.
Front caption reads, "Blarney Castle, Co. Cork, Ireland."
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.
The battlements crowning the castle keep are typically Irish in form. Below them is
set in the wall the famous Stone, and to kiss it,
one has to lean backwards (grasping an iron railing) from the parapet walk of
the battlements."
