Irish Postcard IRELAND Connemara Lough Barren Landscape Flowers John Hinde 2/919

Description

Vintage Continental-sized (approx. 4x6) postcard with a view of a lough in the wind-swept,
barren terrain of what looks like the Connemara country of Ireland.
Wildflowers bloom near a reed-filled lake.
Photo by Adrian Baker, International Photobank.
Front title reads, "IRELAND".
Back caption reads, "IRELAND: The unique beauty of Ireland's landscape and its rich historic,
literary and artistic assocations have long made it a favourite resort of tourists.
Encompassing a wealth of natural beauty within its modest dimensions, Ireland boasts a
landscape which is as much diverse as it is gratifying. The scenic grandeur is set off by Ireland's
position. Standing in the path of both the prevailing westerly winds of the Atlantic and the
warming currents of the Gulf Stream, Ireland enjoys an equable climate which gives the country
its unique fresh appearance."
