    Description

    Vintage Continental-sized (approx. 4x6) postcard with three views of Blarney Castle,
    County Cork, Ireland, home of the Blarney Stone, including a view of the tower/keep,
    a view from the river, and someone kissing the famous Stone.
    Front banner reads, "BLARNEY CASTLE".
    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 world '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's peak 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."
    Card No. 2/198 (one of several versions with this number) published by John Hinde Ltd., Cabinteely, Dublin.
