Vintage Continental-sized (approx. 4x6") chrome postcard showing

an Irish landscape of blooming gorse, with white cottages and fields sweeping down to a blue lake.

Front caption reads,

"IRELAND".

Back caption reads,

"IRELAND: The unique beauty of Ireland's lanscape and its rich

historic, literary and artistic associations have long made it a favourite resort

of tourists. Encompassing a wealth of natural beauty within its modest dimensions,

Ireland boats a landscape which is as much diverse as it is gratifying. The scenic

grandeur is set off by Ireland's position. Standing in the path of both the prevailing

westerly winds of the Atlantic and the warming currents of the Gulf Stream,

Ireland enjoys an equable climate which gives the country its unique fresh appearance."
