    NYT of August 21, 1916 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9D06EED91E3FE233A... had an article with headline, "8,000 CATHOLICS GET MESSAGE FROM POPE; Three Cardinals and Apostolic Delegate Occupy Thrones at Cathedral Mass. OPENS CATHOLIC WEEK. Great Throng Sees Procession of High Church Dignitaries and Eminent Laymen."

    The [New York] Sun., August 21, 1916, Page 4 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030431/1916-08-21/ed-... featured a very similar picture with the same men and the same building.

    I think this was taken at E. 50th and Madison Ave., on the back side of St. Patrick's Cathedral. 2009 Street View: www.google.com/maps/@40.757867,-73.975605,3a,75y,10.82h,8...

    That might be a Christian Brother in the cassock on the far left (though I'd have expected a different collar) but robes with 3 knotted rope cinctures indicate that most of these men are Franciscans - the beards further identify them as Capuchins (Order of Capuchin Friars Minor) The two clean shaven men behind the Capuchins appear to be wearing robes of the same color as the Capuchins, but with capuches. These are likely Conventual Franciscans (OFM Conv.)

    The background would be more effective if you couldn't see how it was wedged in place.
  • Swordscookie said:
    derangedlemur I agree, for such a fine shot it was a bit on the careless side!
  • Irish Capuchin Archives said:
    You are correct. He was an Irish Capuchin Friar. His name was Fr. Paul Neary OFM Cap. He was born in Freshford, County Kilkenny in 1856. He served as Provincial Minister (Superior) of the Capuchins in Ireland from 1887-93 and from 1904-07. He died on 20 June 1939.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Irish Capuchin Archives Thank you for the details!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Excellent - thanks Irish Capuchin Archives. Do you think the catalogue range we have for this image (1930-40) is accurate? He doesn't quite look all of the 75+ years-old that the range might imply. This may have been a copy made or published by the Keogh studio in the late 1930s - around the time of his death? With the original photograph dating from a little earlier - maybe taken while he was Superior?
