A view of Frederiksholms Kanal, a canal in central Copenhagen, Denmark, in about 1910. The prominent domed building in the centre of the image is the Christiansborg Palace which is the seat of the Danish Parliament. The large steeple is the 300 ft spire of St. Nicholas (Lutheran) Church which opened in 1912. The image appears to show scaffolding around the spire which suggests that the photograph was taken during its reconstruction in the years from 1909 to 1912. The church now houses the Nikolaj Contemporary Art Center.
A view of the Glen of Aherlow, County Tipperary. The print forms part of the Lawrence Collection. The caption on the plate reads 'Glen of Aherlow. Tipperary. 6933. W. L.'.
A view of Lower Main Street in Graiguenamangh, County Kilkenny, in about 1905. The image was probably taken (or acquired) by Fr. Angelus Healy OFM Cap. (1873-1953), a Capuchin friar who was a native of Graiguenamangh. A horse drawn carriage (called a ‘brake’) can be seen carrying passengers on the right of the road. These were extensively used in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as a means of public transport and conveyance. Going in the opposite direction is what appears to be some sort of parade of horses and jockeys (in apparently elaborate silks).
Two plates showing a Capuchin friar tending plants in a greenhouse in Rochestown, County Cork. The cover annotation suggests that the friar is Fr. Bernardine Harvey OFM Cap. (1874-1953).
An image of a group of Capuchin friars. The group includes (second on the left), Fr. Ignatius Collins OFM Cap., (second on the right), Fr. Dominic O'Connor OFM Cap. and (first on the right) Fr. Colman Griffin OFM Cap. A manuscript annotation on the cover is addressed to Fr. Stanislaus Kavanagh OFM Cap. (1876-1965).
‘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.
