Progress of the Temperance Movement in Dublin

1 p.; clipping

Photographic news cutting from the ‘Irish Independent’ from 12 April 1910, titled ‘Progress of the Temperance Movement in Dublin’. The article reports on the formal opening of Father Mathew Park at Fairview as a place of recreation and assembly for the public. It includes two printed snapshots: the upper halftone shows Father Aloysius Travers OFM Cap. delivering an address on a decorated platform, flanked by Mr. Gore (Solicitor) who is seated on his left, and Mr. Shane Leslie, who is standing adjacent. The lower, wide-angle halftone depicts a sprawling public crowd gathered on the lawns with Fater Peter Bowe OFM Cap. (Provincial Minister) addressing the large outdoor meeting from an elevated pulpit.
