Note
It appears that these postcards (in their original boxes) were un-sold stock left over from the former Capuchin Publications Office. It should be noted that the postcards depicting St. Brendan, St. Colmcille and especially St. Patrick are considerably rarer in the file. Only three prints of St. Patrick are extant.
