Two photographic prints showing Bedouin Arabs in Bethlehem, Palestine, in about 1930. The original captions for the prints are as follows: (top) ‘The Bedouin Arabs from all parts of Judea come into the market at Bethlehem to sell their flocks of goats and camels to local Christians. The market is held every Saturday but very few tourists find their way to this interesting spot in the ancient city’. (bottom) ‘Bethlehem – an unusual scene. The market place is a spot off the track for pilgrims and tourists’.
An aerial view of Marino, a suburb on the north side of Dublin, in June 1932. Visible in the photograph is the O’Brien Institute which was built in the early 1880s as an orphan home and school. The Institute buildings are now used as a training and conference centre for Dublin City Fire Brigade. The print shows large tents pitched on the grounds of the Casino in Marino. The tents may have had some connection with pilgrims attending the International Eucharistic Congress.
An aerial view of St. Kieran's College ('Coláiste Chiaráin') in Kilkenny in about 1935. The college is a secondary school and was formerly a seminary. The seminary was closed in 1994.
Photographic prints of unidentified persons. The prints were seemingly compiled to illustrate articles in 'The Capuchin Annual'. Some of the prints may also be of contributors to the publication. The file also includes a photographic print of a portrait of an unknown individual by Seán O’Sullivan RHA (1906-1964). The portrait is dated December 1936.
A bound volume containing photographic prints complied for publication by Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap. and Fr. Henry Anglin OFM Cap. A manuscript annotation on the spine reads ‘Views’. Most of the prints are not captioned. Many of the prints are of scenic locations in Ireland (particularly on the western coast), and of major Catholic churches and places of worship. The album includes the following prints (the index number refers to the pagination within the volume):
