Postcard. Colour photograph of River Shannon with Limerick City in background. Number
2/LK-018. Printed on reverse "Limerick city, where the Shannon river meets the sea is one of
the most progressive of Irish cities, where the past and present mingle pleasantly. That part
of the city called Newtown Pery was designed and planned in 1767, and is the Limerick of wide
streets crossing at right angles, and the pleasantly tree-sprinkled People's Park. The tall
column in the park commemorates Thomas Spring Rice (1790-1866) first Baron Monteagle, an
enlightened and progressive Limerick citizen."
