A clipping of a photographic print of the unveiling of the statue of Canon Patrick Sheehan at the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Doneraile, County Cork. (‘Cork Examiner’, 19 Oct. 1925). The group includes the sculptor Francis William Doyle Jones and Robert Browne, the Bishop of Cloyne.
The collection includes records created by the Property Defence Association (PDA) which was formed in Dublin in December 1880 to assist landlords targeted by the Land League or by rural agitation in general.
The Irish Landowner’s Convention was set up in early 1888 to protect the interests of landowners in the face of agrarian agitation and legislative reforms which enabled tenant proprietorship.
A large collection of metal printing blocks (stereotypes) prepared for illustrative purposes and publication in 'The Capuchin Annual'. It is likely that some of the blocks were purchased from an engraving and printing company whilst many others were specifically commissioned for 'The Capuchin Annual'.
Metal stereotypes (set on wooden blocks) showing representations and illustrations of men. The original filing cabinet containing these blocks was labelled ‘men’. The blocks lack any identifying captions, but some are numbered. Some of the images appear to show men in humorous situations, at work (particularly in a rural setting) or at religious devotions. Specific stereotypes include Illustrations of the War of Independence. Several of the metal stereotypes are detached from the wooden backing.
