File containing illustrations by Christopher Campbell (1908-1972) submitted for publication in 'The Capuchin Annual'. Some of the illustrations are signed but none are dated. The illustrations show scenes probably connected with the 1798 Rebellion and religious strife.

Born in Dublin, Christopher Campbell studied at the Metropolitan School of Art under Patrick Tuohy and later worked at the Harry Clarke Stained Glass Studios. He worked as a painter and stained-glass artist and, over a long career, exhibited over 70 works at the Royal Hibernian Academy in a variety of media. Campbell's realist painting style recalls that of Seán Keating. His brother, Laurence Campbell, was an important sculptor whose sitters included Jack B. Yeats.
