This and similar postcard illustrations were often accompanied by a verse from "The Irish Jaunting Car" by Valentine Vousden, an Irish music hall performer who was born in 1825: Source:

The Irish Jaunting Car. Detroit, Michigan: Detroit Publishing Co., circa 1890-circa 1900. If you want a ride round Dublin shure
you'll find me on the stand,
I'll take you to Raheny to pick cockles on
the Strand,
I'll take you to the Phoenix Park, to Nancy
Hands and then
I'll take you to the strawberry beds and
back to town again.
