Victorian Irish-American Patriotic Greeting Card with Harp & Eagle

The woman at the harp gazes contemplatively into the middle distance with the expression of someone who has accepted her role as the emotional centerpiece of an aggressively maximalist postcard that apparently needed every single symbol of Irish-American brotherhood crammed into one image or the whole deal was off. She plays her golden harp beneath an explosion of shamrocks while an Irish Wolfhound lounges in the foreground with the energy of someone who has seen too many of these diplomatic ceremonies. Center stage belongs to a disembodied handshake emerging from an American flag and an Irish harp flag — two floating hands aggressively gripping each other over a pile of national colors being the card's preferred method of expressing 'heartfelt unity' — while a steamship crosses the harbor in the background, presumably delivering more shamrocks, and a bald eagle clutches a stars-and-stripes shield in the upper right corner just to make absolutely sure you got the memo.
