2 items; 12 cm x 8.8 cm; 9 cm x 6.5 cm; Black and white print

Photographic print of Fr. Stephen OSFC (from Rheims, France) and Br. Leo OSFC (a Dutch Capuchin friar), probably in Holy Trinity Friary in Cork. An annotation on the reverse reads: ‘Sitting, Fr. Stephen – Capuchin at Rheims. He made part of his studies in Rochestown and was ordained in Cork about 1881. The other is Br. Leo who came to Ireland as Br. Master in 1875 or 74’. It should be noted that Br. Leo of Venlo OSFC, from the Capuchin Province of Paris, died on 27 January 1927. (See GP/119). The smaller copy print is annotated on the reverse: ‘Br. Leo, a Hollander, Fr. Stephen, a Frenchman’. The file contains the original print and a copy print.
