Text on back reads, "CORUNNA, This is the Northernmost Province of Spain, a part of the old Province of Galicia, bounded North and West by the Sea. The country is very mountainous, craggy and picturesque, and essentially agricultural. The inhabitants are descendants of the ancient Goths. They are not very tall, but stout and robust. Corunna, the capital, was founded by the Phoenicians several centuries B.C. Our picture represents the Provincial dress of the rural population, in a multitude of whose homes you will find our Grand Old 'Singer.'" |
