A large group of school girls outside presumably a school building probably in County Cork in about 1910. A duplicate of this image is extant at CA PH-1-33-K.
A view of Sackville (later O’Connell) Street looking towards the O’Connell monument in about 1890. In the foreground, the William Smith O’Brien statue stands in its original position at the junction of O’Connell Bridge and D’Olier Street.
A view of Queenstown (now Cobh), County Cork, from the harbour. Fr. Theobald Mathew OSFC died in Queenstown on 8 December 1856. St. Colman’s Cathedral is prominent in the image. The cathedral is still lacking the octagonal limestone spire. Construction on the Cathedral began in 1868 but work on the spire did not commence until 1911 and was eventually completed in 1914.
A plate showing a portrait of Fr. Theobald Mathew OSFC (as a younger man). The portrait shows Fr. Mathew in traditional nineteenth-century clerical attire with a temperance medal pinned to his breast.
An plate showing an hand-drawn ‘plan of the Old Franciscan Capuchin Church in Church Street. Taken from Rocque’s map of Dublin, 1773’. The scale is given as 10 feet to 1 inch. This is presumably a plan of the original Capuchin chapel built on Church Street. It was replaced by a church built in 1796 which in turn was replaced by the existing Church of St. Mary of the Angels (built from 1868 to 1881). The plate is by Mayne, Lord Edward Street, Dublin.
Fr. Aloysius Travers OFM Cap. (1870-1957) and Fr. Angelus Healy OFM Cap. (1875-1953) with a large group of lay people on a pilgrimage to Lough Derg in County Donegal.
An exterior view of the old Capuchin Friary building on Walkin Street in Kilkenny. There appears to be scaffolding erected in the background. In December 1873, the foundation stone was laid for a new Friary running parallel to Walkin Street. In 1889 a lease was obtained for a small garden adjoining the Friary and in July 1896 the site of the old alms house was obtained from the Most Rev. Abraham Brownrigg (1836-1928), Bishop of Ossory. This allowed for the building of an additional wing to the Friary in 1897. This new wing was located at right angles to Walkin Street and extended to Pennyfeather Lane.
