About this postcard
The card centers a small view of Fingal's Cave inside a horseshoe of green shamrocks. A blue shield with a golden Irish harp sits above the view, and a clay pipe crosses the lower right; the St. Patrick's Day greeting is printed on a scroll panel at the bottom. Fingal's Cave is the sea cavern on Staffa, in Scotland's Inner Hebrides, known for its columnar basalt. Irish-themed St. Patrick's Day cards with harps, shamrocks, and pipes were common in the early 20th century, and this one was sent by Aunt Alice to Robert Crouse.
