‘Royal Standard Plates, Cadett & Neall Ltd., Wealstone, Middlesex’ box containing six plates. The file includes portraits of mostly named Capuchin friars. Identifying labels are attached to most of the plates. 34 (a) Br. Stanislaus Walsh OSFC (1842-1910). 34 (b) Fr. Fidelis Neary OFM Cap. (d. 22 June 1932). The plate is severely cracked in the upper left-hand portion. 34 (c) The Most Rev. Ignatius Perisco OSFC, Archbishop of Damiella (1823-1896). This is most likely a print taken from published work or a reproduction of a painting. 34 (d) Half-length portrait of Fr. Fidelis Neary OFM Cap. (d. 22 June 1932). 34 (e) Fr. Matthew O’Connor OFM Cap. (d. 27 Apr. 1930). 34 (f) An unidentified Capuchin friar in a seated position. The identifying label has been covered over by tape.

Two women (one sitting and holding a jug) on a forested hillside. The standing girl appears to be collecting berries. The image was probably taken near the Capuchin Friary in Rochestown, County Cork.
Six dray (or draft) horses standing harnessed to carts hauling large kegs at the Jameson Distillery, Bow Street, Dublin. This is an image of some of the working horses used at the Jameson Distillery in Dublin, in about 1905. The photograph was probably taken from atop of the Capuchin Friary which fronted onto Bow Street.
A view of the Strawberry Beds in Dublin in about 1910. Running alongside the northern banks of the River Liffey between the villages of Chapelizod and Lucan, the Strawberry Beds were so-called on account of the fruits which were cultivated and sold there in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It was also traditionally a popular honeymoon destination for Dubliners. The bridge, spanning the River Liffey, is the Farmleigh Bridge, also known as the Silver Bridge, Guinness Bridge or Strawberry Beds Bridge. It is now disused and largely derelict.
A view of four individuals working on the train line at Mageney Railway Station, County Kildare, in about 1910. Opened in 1846, the station formed part of the Great Southern and Western Railway line from Cherryville Junction to Kilkenny.
