Back caption reads,
"KINSALE: With its houses climbing up the wooded slopes of
Compass Hill, and overlooking the winding estuary of the Bandon River,
has an old-world appearance. The town is mostly of the eighteenth
century, with narrow winding streets and interesting ruins tucked
away amidst Georgian houses. Kinsale is now one of Europe's leading
sea angling centres. The traditional Kinsale Cloak, a hooded garment
once fashionable in the area, has left its influence on modern Irish fashion
houses. Off the Old Head of Kinsale, the Lusitania was sunk in May 1915."
