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) of illustrations of landscapes, buildings and transport such as boats, automobiles and trains. The blocks lack any identifying captions, but some are numbered and dated (1940-1) by John English & Co., printers. It is likely that some of the blocks were purchased from an engraving and printing company whilst others were specifically commissioned for publication in 'The Capuchin Annual'. The file includes: • A small block depicting the O’Connell Monument, Dublin. • Block depicting an illustration of a Dublin tenement by Seán MacManus. • Illustrations by Peter F. Anson (1889-1975). • A painting of County Donegal by Frank McKelvey RHA (1895-1974). Several of the metal stereotypes are detached from the wooden backing.
