A photograph an Irish National Army officer (identified as ‘Captain Heaslip’ in the original caption) conversing with a Major in the Worcestershire Regiment as the former prepares to assume guard duties at the Bank of Ireland building on College Green in Dublin. This was one of several significant public handovers from the British administration to the Provisional Government during 1922. The event was noteworthy as it was first time that the historic Bank of Ireland building (prior to 1801 it housed the Parliament of Ireland) was guarded by non-British troops.

Prints of Charlotte House at the corner of Queen Street and Charlotte Quay (now known as Father Mathew Street and Father Mathew Quay) in Cork. The building is five storeys in height. The gable end is topped with a cross. The building was located on a site on the south-east corner of Queen Street. Fr. Cherubini Mazzini OSFC converted this house into a residence for the friars and Charlotte House, as it was known, remained in use until 1884 when the Capuchins took up residence in the present-day Holy Trinity Friary built by Fr. Simeon Gaudillot OSFC (1836-1910). The print may have been taken from a volume.
