Continental-sized (approx. 4x6") chrome postcard with three views of St. Patrick's Cathedral

in Dublin, Ireland.

Views include the church exterior, interior, and a bust of writer Jonathan Swift, who once served

as the Cathedral's Dean and is buried there.

Front banner reads, "St. Patrick's Cathedral".

Back caption reads, "ST. PATRICK'S CATHEDRAL, DUBLIN: Originally founded

in 1190 the cathedral was extensively rebuilt towards the end of the 14th century, after

the destructive fire. Following the wars of the 17th century the building fell into a

ruinous state until about 1860 when a complete restoration was carried out through

the generosity of Sir Benjamin Guinness, a member of the famous brewery family. The

little park beside the cathedral was also provided by this family. Jonathan Swift was dean

of St. Patrick's from 1713 to 1745 and is buried in the cathedral."
