A file containing ‘Lastre a gelatine bromuro d’argento … di Cappelli, Milano’ box containing four large plate reproductions of an original manuscript. The box cover gives two dates of 1906 and 1911 (probably company awards). A faint manuscript annotation on the box reads: ‘Catalogo Campione’. The manuscript is titled on the first plate: ‘De haeresis Anglicanae in Iberniam intrusione et progressu, et de Bell Catholico ad annum 1641 caepto, exindeque per aliquot gesto, Commentarius’. The plates are images of the original copy of the ‘Commentarius Rinuccinanus’ held in the Archivio Storico Milano. The original text was destroyed in a bombing raid on Milan during the Second World War.

The fliers claim the support of Fr. Laurence Dowling OFM Cap. and Fr. Albert Bibby OFM Cap., Capuchin Franciscan Friary, Church Street, calling them ‘distinguished representatives of the Order which in dark and evil days held aloft the lamp of learning in Ireland’. Father Lawrence wrote ‘I am glad Mr. John Farren is seeking election as a member of the Dublin Corporation. …’. The fliers were printed by Mitchell & Co., 29 Capel Street, Dublin, and published by the candidate.

A group of Capuchin friars (approximately eleven in total) standing in front of a partially ruined (or demolished) building. The image offers a rather abstract view of a group friars standing in front of a partially demolished building probably during construction work at the Church Street Friary, Dublin. Some of the friars are identifiable including Fr. Sylvester Mulligan OSFC (third from the right). Born in County Monaghan in 1875, he was educated at the Seraphic College at Rochestown in County Cork, before formally joining the Capuchins in 1892. He subsequently taught theology at the University of Louvain, Belgium, before undertaking missionary work in India. In 1937, he was appointed Archbishop of Delhi-Simla, the last non-Indian cleric to hold this position. He died in Dublin in 1950 and was buried in Glasnevin Cemetery.

File containing illustrations for 'The Capuchin Annual' by Fr. Gerald McCann OFM Cap. (1910-1958). These humorous black-ink drawings depict aspects of Capuchin Franciscan life and were regularly published in the 'Annual'. Fr. Gerald also served as assistant-editor of the publication. The themes include Christmas festivities, pranks and mischiefs involving Capuchins (some of the friars depicted, including Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap., were known to Fr. Gerald), sports, music, everyday chores and religious rituals.

Metal stereotypes (set on wooden blocks) of illustrations (many by Fr. Gerald McCann OFM Cap. with some by Grace Perry) of Franciscan life published in 'The Capuchin Annual'. The themes include Christmas festivities, pranks and mischiefs involving Capuchins (some of the friars depicted, including Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap., were known to Fr. Gerald), sports, music, everyday chores and religious rituals. Several of the blocks depict more general aspects of religious devotion including representations of saints, the nativity, symbols and crests, missionaries and the clergy. Some of the blocks have annotations on the reverse indicating the theme of the illustration. These include:
• ‘This place is holy’.
• ‘Joy in the struggle’.
• ‘St. Francis of Assisi / the builder’.
• ‘People in love’.
• ‘Building together’.
• ‘Call to praise’.
• ‘Peace and goodness’.
• ‘St. Francis and the Wolf’. The cover illustration of 'The Capuchin Annual' by Seán O’Sullivan RHA.
• Richard King at work on a Station of the Cross in his studio.
Some of these stereotype blocks were found in box marked with an annotation suggesting that they had been returned from ‘Kelly’s Printers’.
