The Capuchin Annual was published in Dublin from 1930 through 1977. Although its readership was by and large Irish, its circulation was international as it was frequently sent to Irish expatriates and members of the Capuchin community abroad. It is a journal unique in Irish publishing-although its ethos always remained the promotion of and education in Christian values and a Catholic way of life, it found many unique ways of exploring these subjects. From its conception, successive editors, beginning with Father Senan Moynihan , it maintained a very high quality of contributions. Many Irish writers, artists, and educators who later rose to prominence (such as Michael Bowles, Benedict Kiley, Francis Macmanus and Augustine Martin) often received their first opportunities to publish with The Annual). The Annual was always published on high-quality glossy paper, making reproductions of art works as good as one would expect in a journal of the fine arts. It was also very hefty-each volume was around 500 pages, and each bore the same cover design by Sean O'Sullivan.
Also of interest for a large number of vintage advertisements and ad illustration - many for businesses that still exist.
