- Opis:
View of the city of Cork on the south coast of Ireland, with Cork harbour visible in the background. The city is situated on the Lee River, nine miles from Cork Harbour.

Séan O' Faoláin wrote of the city that, '…you soon find the city is not merely built on marsh but on islands in the marsh, and that the streets are, often, covered canals or rivers. Patrick Street is winding merely because the river under it winds- one winter the river burst through the wood paving and we saw underneath it…'
