The accompanying caption is a facetious reference to a passage from Roosevelt's book, Five Acres Too Much (1869). In it he describes the Irish in the following way: "The inhabitants of the Emerald Isle are certainly a magnificent race...and if they do not lie, steal, cheat, rob, murder, get drunk, perjure themselves, quarrel, fight and insist upon damages unreasonably, they would be almost as good as other nations."
