EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a timeless tradition that has been practiced for centuries at Blarney Castle in Ireland. The act of kissing the Blarney Stone, set into the castle wall by Cormac Macarthy in 1446, is said to bestow upon the kisser wonderful powers of cajolery.
The image depicts a person leaning backwards over the edge of the castle wall, ready to plant a kiss on the ancient stone. This simple yet significant gesture is believed to grant those who partake in it with persuasive abilities and charm.
The early 20th century setting adds an air of historical significance to this custom, showcasing how it has endured through generations as a symbol of Irish folklore and heritage. The rich history behind this ritual is palpable in the stone's weathered surface and the moss-covered walls surrounding it.
As you gaze upon this photograph, you can almost feel the weight of centuries worth of stories and customs embedded within its frame. It serves as a reminder of the power that traditions hold in shaping our cultural identities and connecting us to our past.
Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully captured this momentous occasion, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the magic and mystique of kissing the Blarney Stone.
