A clipping of an article on street life in Dublin written by the Belfast-based artist George Campbell. The article was published in the ‘Irish Travel’ magazine in February 1945. Campbell’s article includes a description of the stalls and markets on Horseman’s Row which formed part of the old Anglesea Market site near Moore Street. Reference is also made to Campbell's visit to the office of ‘The Capuchin Annual’ on nearby Capel Street, occupied by the editors of the periodical, Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap. and Fr. Gerald McCann OFM Cap.
A bound book, formerly ‘The Works of Ruskin / library edition / Vol. II’, in which clippings relating to the 1916 Rising taken from contemporary newspapers have been laid in. The clippings (including many printed photographs and illustrations) cover the fighting and the subsequent executions of the rebel leaders. The volume includes contemporary accounts mainly taken from loyalist publications, including the ‘Irish Times’, ‘Daily Sketch’ and ‘Weekly Dispatch’. The volume also includes articles from the ‘Cork Free Press’. The end pages of the volume contain clippings relating to the Civil War and material re the deaths and executions of leading republicans during the latter stages of that conflict. A few articles from the late 1930s and early 1940s (presumably compiled by Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap.) are also extant in the volume. Inserts include typescript ephemera mainly from anti-Treaty and republican sources during the Civil War. The volume is not paginated.
