Front caption reads, "The Spanish Arch (17th c.) Galway City, Ireland."
Back caption reads,
"SPANISH ARCH. Four centuries ago, this was the favourite promenade
of the Spanish 'grandee' merchants of Galway and their families. Galway is
the most Irish of Ireland's cities today; in its streets walk bawneen-clad men
from the Connemara coastline, and you will hear Gaelic spoken. In contrast,
Salthill, Galway's seaside suburb, is one of the best-equipped and fashionable
resorts in the country."
