Ah, the race of my ancestors. Fantastic sense of humour.

I also love this part of the text that goes with it:

...our Grangegorman Cartographer has designed the above map of Ireland, which is calculated to discourage the inhabitants, much less strangers. The trouble is, he feels, that, even as depicted, the country still looks more attractive than the rest of Europe.

Mostly because it was most likely true at the time.
