Irish Postcard KISSING THE BLARNEY STONE Castle Cork Ireland O'Toole Hinde 2/59

Description

Vintage Continental-sized (approx. 4x6) postcard showing a group of tourists kissing the
Blarney Stone on Blarney Castle in County Cork, Ireland.
Circa 1990s.
Photo by Peter O'Toole.
Front caption reads, "Kissing the Blarney Stone, Blarney Castle, Co. Cork, Ireland."
Back caption reads, "BLARNEY CASTLE, CO. CORK: Situated 7 km 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 famous Stone is set in the wall below the battlements, and to kiss it, one has to lean
backwards (grasping an iron railing) from the parapet walk."
