‘Paget Prize Plate Co., Ltd., Watford’ box. The box contains seven plates. The plates include a view of Ards House (later Ard Mhuire Capuchin Friary) near Creeslough in County Donegal, and a group of five unidentified Capuchin friars walking in a garden (one of the friars has a hand over his face). The other five plates appear to be ‘holiday scenes’ including one of the Frederiksholms Kanal in Copenhagen, Denmark, and a promenade scene onboard a ship.
A lantern slide of a print titled ‘the historical tree of Ireland’. The print shows Daniel O’Connell addressing Erin and a cleric (most likely Fr. Theobald Mathew OSFC) delivering a blessing at the base of a tree. The tree itself is inscribed with notable events in Irish and British history such as 'Cromwell's Usurpation'.
