Irish Postcard BLARNEY CASTLE Lawns Stone County Cork Ireland John Hinde 2/304

Description

Vintage Continental-sized (approx. 4x6") postcard showing people enjoying the lawns and green spaces
at Blarney Castle, home to the famous
Blarney Stone,
in County Cork, Ireland.
Photo by E. Nägele.
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."
