Cover Artwork for Promotional Broadsheet on New College Oratory

1 p.; 1 illustrated broadsheet/poster, black ink print on heavy paper

This broadsheet serves as a promotional and fundraising illustration titled ‘Irish Capuchins at Rochestown: New College Oratory 1961’. The pen-and-ink graphic composition features a perspective architectural drawing of the proposed new college oratory building integrated into the existing Rochestown campus landscape. The central section displays a detailed internal architectural ground plan scaled at 30 feet to one inch – labelling features such as the nave, sanctuary, sacristies, and side altars. The lower register consists of a global tracking map titled ‘In The World’, mapping the missionary reach of the Irish Capuchin Province to specific destinations in the United States (Oregon, California, Wilmington), Africa (St. Helena, Capetown, Northern Rhodesia [Zambia]), and New Zealand (Wellington, Dunedin). Several later copies of the illustration are attached to the original stencil drawing.
