Irishman. |

[S.l. : s.n.] |
| Date |
[between 1840 and 1880?] |
| Description |
The Irishman has copious facial hair, smokes a pipe, and wears knee-breeches. He stands in front of another man and a ship.
The "Know Nothings" were an anti-Catholic and anti-immigrant group, and the valentine mocks the Irishman for knowing so little
that he would join a group that opposes him.

Text: It's Paddy from Cork I am; sure you'll be knowin' me; / And I'm jist over, good manners to tache: / Faith, I'm a know-nothing,
and soon I'll be showin' ye / How to git into office, and stick like a lache.
