A series of eight photographic prints of boys probably initiated into the Catholic Boys’ Brigade on Church Street in Dublin. The prints were found in an annotated envelope: ‘Mr. Peter Tierney’s Photos’. Tierney was an early organiser of the Boys’ Brigade. All the boys are barefoot and are dressed in worn rags and torn clothing. Two of the prints depict a pair of boys, possibly brothers. One of these prints is annotated on the reverse: ‘two recruits’. Two of the prints were produced by W.F. O’Connor, 1 Wellington Quay, corner of Parliament Street, Dublin.
Partial catalogues and lists of material held in the Irish Capuchin Archives relating to Fr. Theobald Mathew OSFC compiled by Fr. Nessan Shaw OFM Cap. and Fr. Paul Murphy OFM Cap. The listed material is mostly commemorative in nature and includes temperance association reports, newspaper cuttings covering the temperance movement in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, speeches, addresses and orations at events celebrating Fr. Mathew’s life, temperance publications and ephemera, and correspondence. Most of the material has been listed elsewhere in this catalogue.
Catalogues of objects and souvenirs held in the Father Mathew Museum (‘Hall Room No. 6’). A note appended to the list by Fr. Martin Hyland OSFC, Guardian of Holy Trinity Friary, Cork, is dated 27 Dec. 1920. A later note affirms that these items were apparently returned to the friary on 8 March 1921. The lists include many portraits and pictures, temperance medals and pledge cards, the original design and plans for Holy Trinity Church by E.W. Pugin and George Coppinger Ashlin, letters of Fr. Mathew, a model of the old friary chapel on Blackamoor Lane, a model of Holy Trinity Church, cups, teapots and plates commemorating temperance, missals, Fr. Mathew’s walking sticks, the visitors’ book to the Father Mathew Pavilion at the Cork Exhibition in 1902, Fr. Mathew’s piano and other ephemera. It appears that many of these objects were previously displayed at the Cork Exhibition in 1902.
