A cheeky wire-fox terrier in a jaunty plaid cap and red bow tie announces "I'm Trying to be Good at Galway" on the front of this delightful Valentine's "Mail Novelty" — a die-cut shaped postcard that unfolds accordion-style to reveal a cascade of black-and-white photographic views of Galway city, including the Claddagh fishing boats at harbour, Eyre Square bustling with market-day crowds, a Lynch memorial stone, and street scenes. Sent air mail from someone signing only as "Jim" to a Mrs L. at 99 Gilman Street, Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA — a poignant wartime or early post-war gesture from Ireland to the American Irish diaspora. The reverse bears a "Printed in Éire" stamp and a "MAK ROAD" postmark fragment, dating it to the 1940s. Valentine's Mail Novelty shape was passed by the GPO for printed-paper postage rate, making it an economical way to share multiple views. The accordion insert includes at least five views: Claddagh Fishing Boats, Eyre Square, a street scene, and additional Galway landmarks.
