Hand-colored photographic postcard of a traditional Irish roadside thatched cottage, its whitewashed stone walls almost entirely covered in climbing ivy and flowering plants. The long low cottage with its warm amber-brown thatched roof nestles among mature trees, with a dry-stone wall in the foreground and a gravel lane. A verse by Eva Brennan is inset at lower right: "My heart strays back though far I roam, / To a little Irish Home Sweet Home."
