Metal stereotypes (set on wooden blocks) of illustrations for children’s stories for publication in 'The Capuchin Annual' and in 'The Father Mathew Record'. The blocks lack any identifying captions, but some are numbered. Many of the blocks appear to be illustrations for children’s fairy tales, Celtic mythology, Christmas stories, animal fables or stories with a religious significance.
A collection of sorts and type cases used by printers for the publication of 'The Capuchin Annual'. A sort is a piece of metal type representing a letter or symbol, cast from a matrix mold and assembled with other sorts bearing additional letters into lines of type to make up a form from which a page is printed. The file also includes two original card boxes holding the type sorts: an empty Adana Standard Printers’ Type / 12pt. Times Roman (lower case letters only) and 6pt. Rockwell Light type supplied by Eric W. Massey Ltd., 13 Harcourt Street, Dublin.
The first number of 'The Father Mathew Record' was published in January 1908. It was founded and edited by Fr. Aloysius Travers OFM Cap. (1870-1957). 1967 marked the last year of the publication under the title of 'The Father Mathew Record'. From 1968 until it ceased publication in 1973, the publication was known as 'Eirigh'. Very little content has survived for the publication for the years prior to the assumption of the editorship of 'Eirigh' by Fr. Donal O’Mahony OFM Cap. (1936-2010) in the late 1960s.
