A bound volume containing colour postcard images of scenic locations around Ireland, mostly in County Kerry. Includes various scenes around Killarney. The volume also includes postcards of Croagh Patrick in Mayo and an image of the control tower at Shannon Airport in County Clare. All the postcards have manuscript notes on the reverse by Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap. The notes appear to be draft letters written by Fr. Senan to his secretary Mollie Baxter in circa 1953. There are duplicate postcards, and some are loose within the volume.

A bound volume with a manuscript annotation on the spine which reads ‘Jack B. Yeats / National Loan Exhibition / 1945’. The volume contains photographic prints showing some of the 179 Yeats’s paintings on display at the exhibition. The exhibition was held at the National College of Art in Dublin in June and July 1945. It appears that Fr. Senan played a significant role in organising the exhibition. Printed extracts from a catalogue are extant in the volume which include information on painting titles, dimensions, and provenance. The volume also includes some related clippings re Yeats’s artistic output, a Christmas card from the Cuala Press, letters from Yeats to Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap., and a ink-sketch signed by the artist. The letters date from 1941 to 1946. Several of Yeats’s paintings displayed in the exhibition including ‘The Funeral of Harry Boland’ (1922) and ‘Communicating with Prisoners’ (1924) were in the possession of Fr. Senan at the time of the National Loan Exhibition.
