An image titled ‘Inishmaan Pupils’. The print is slightly blurred but the date (25 May 1937) is visible on the teacher’s blackboard. Inishmaan (Inis Meáin) is the middle of the three main Aran Islands located off Galway on Ireland’s Atlantic Coast.
A view of a truck and trailer at the entrance to Broadstone Station in Dublin in about 1935. An annotation on the reverse reads ‘A Chenard-Walcker tractor / trailer in the early 1930s / a forerunner of today’s juggernauts’.

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.
