The prints depict St. Brendan, St. Patrick, St. Ita, St. Fiacre, St. Senan, St. Colmcille, St. Brigid and St. Laurence O’Toole. Each one of the postcards shows the Saint (in colour) on one side, with a postcard layout on the reverse with the name of the Saint, the artist (Risteárd Ó Cionga) and the copyright statement.

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.
