33 (i) Five dray horses standing harnessed to carts hauling large kegs at the Jameson Distillery, Bow Street, Dublin.

33 (k) A large group of schoolchildren outside presumably a school building.

The file comprises ten plates and includes images of both individual Irish Capuchin friars and scenery and locations.
35 (a) A view of St. Mary of the Angels, Church Street, Dublin, from a slightly elevated position. The print shows the building before the addition of the Sacred Heart Chapel which was built as an aisle church in 1908. The caption refers to the ordination of Fr. Theobald Mathew OSFC (1790-1856) in the previous chapel on Church Street in 1809. With cover. A copy of this image is extant at CA-PH-1-71.

36 (b) A view of two Capuchin friars taking a break from an excursion on a jaunting car near Rochestown in County Cork in c.1908. The two friars are probably Fr. Jarlath Hynes OFM Cap. (1867-1918) and Fr. Casimir Butler OFM Cap. (1876-1958). The same image is extant at CA PH-1-23-S.
36 (c) A glass stereo plate of what appears to be unidentified deceased Capuchin friar in a coffin. This is probably an image of a deceased Fr. Sebastian O’Brien OFM Cap. (1867-1931).

36 (f) A large group of both men and women (both sitting and standing) outside the main door to St. Mary of the Angels, Church Street, Dublin. Some of the men in the back row appear to be wearing temperance badges. They are probably part of a lay temperance association attached to the Church.
