A view of the St. Patrick Monument and Market Square (also known as 'The Octagon') in Westport, Count Mayo. The plate has a manuscript caption. The image forms part of the Lawrence Photograph Collection. (National Library of Ireland: LROY 00137).
A view of the White Star Liner ‘Oceanic’ leaving Queenstown (now Cobh) Harbour in 1905. Launched in 1899, it was largest ship in the world until 1901. At the outbreak of the First World War, the ship was requisitioned for service in the Royal Navy as an armed merchant cruiser. In September 1914, the ship ran aground off the coast of Shetland and was wrecked. She was the first Allied passenger ship to be lost in the war.
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.
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 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.
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.
