Eucharistic Congress 1932 A very fine pair of coloured Prints designed and published by the Dublin printer Fergus O’Connor to mark the Eucharistic Congress and the 1500th anniversary of the coming of St. Patrick to Ireland, both approx. 50cms x 38cms (20″ x 15″), printed one side only in full colour, in excellent condition. The Saint Patrick print shows the grey-bearded saint in green robe holding a shamrock, in an oval, against an Irish background with round tower and Celtic cross, over the Papal crossed keys device, printed in Germany, designed and published by Fergus O’Connor, Dublin. The Eucharistic Congress print shows an elaborate crowned portrait of the Saviour, with sacred heart and crown of thorns, carrying a jewelled mace, right hand raised in blessing, presumably also printed in Germany, mounted within a separately printed rectangular border printed in Dublin, showing provincial and Celtic symbols under the Papal device. The German printers and artists are not named. An interesting and effective pair, in the highly-coloured style of the time. Presumably O’Connor could not obtain the Saviour print in a matching size to St. Patrick, so he improvised by printing a separate border himself to equalise the dimensions. (2) Fergus O’Connor first came to note as printer to the First Dail, and is best known as a publisher of pamphlets and postcards. Though well printed on heavy stock, the prints are inherently fragile, and it is likely that few survive in acceptable condition.
