Under the headings are tables of sailings, from Limerick on left and Kilrush on right, divided by month and below that a list of fares and the train times Kilkee-Kilrush. The text shows that the poster is also printed on the reverse but this was not accessible at cataloguing because of the frame. "George McKern & Sons, Limited, Printers, Limerick" at bottom. Dark stained wood and plaster frame, with thin board backing held by iron pins. Four small iron screws in bottom of reverse of frame at regularly spaced intervals, and three brass screws at top of frame similarly spaced with hole for a missing fourth; two iron eyes for hanging set into the top of the frame.
