The subseries comprises a collection of ink drawings by Peter Frederick Anson (1889-1975), an English artist and writer. The collection includes illustrations of various religious sites in Ireland, Britain, and Italy. Most of the scenes in Italy have connections with Saint Francis of Assisi and the early Franciscans.
