Cutting from the 'Cork Weekly Examiner' referring to the presentation of a framed address to Fr. Sylvester Mulligan OSFC (1875-1950), former President of the Temperance Hall in Rochestown, on the occasion of his departure for Dublin to take charge of Father Mathew Hall on Church Street. The framed address is extant in the Irish Capuchin Archives. The newspaper article reads: ‘The address was the joint work of two members of the Cork School of Art, the illumination being designed and executed by Mr Sam Martin, and the frame designed and carved by Mr Michael Galligan. The article also includes a photographic print of Fr. Sylvester.

The flier refers to the foundation by Fr. Benvenutus Guy OSFC of St. Joseph’s League which was approved by the Most Rev. William J. Walsh, Archbishop of Dublin, and provides details of its government and organisation. Article 6 notes that ‘members [are] to wear a badge to distinguish them from other boys. By the wearing of this badge they are expected to avoid the company of wicked boys, and to do all in their power to crush vice of every kind, especially evil speaking in those with whom they have to come in contact with’.

A carte de visite of Fr. Benvenutus Guy OSFC (1860-1927). The card is annotated on the reverse: ‘First president of the Catholic Boys’ Brigade’.

Photographic print of John Atkinson’s shop at 45 Church Street, Dublin. A manuscript annotation on the print reads ‘Church Street’. The print is also annotated indicating the numbers of houses on the street. Of particular interest are the advertisements for various newspapers on the hoardings outside the shop. They include (most prominently) the ‘Irish Worker’ founded by Jim Larkin in 1911 as a pro-labour alternative to the capitalist-owned press. It was eventually suppressed for its vigorous anti-war policy in 1915. Other prints advertised include ‘Irish Freedom’, which first appeared in 1910 and continued as a monthly publication until December 1914 when it too was suppressed by the British authorities. The ‘Catholic Bulletin’ was launched in January 1911 by Patrick Keohane. It originally acted as a review journal for Catholic literature but became increasingly strident in its advocacy of advanced nationalist politics.
