Title: Msgr Thomas John Capel; the Apostle to the Genteel. Issue No. 209. (Original Lithograph. )
Description: London: Vanity Fair, 1872. Original colour lithograph. 13.5 x 8.5 inches, accompanied by 1 page of description. Very Good. Bottom of page trimmed, with loss of text, else fine. Published in Vanity Fair, 7 September 1872. Monsignor Thomas John Capel (born 28 October 1836, Ireland – died 23 October 1911, Sacramento, California) was a Roman Catholic priest, elevated to Monsignor. Born in either Waterford or Ardmore in Ireland, by 1881 he gives his place of birth as Ramsgate in Kent;[2] this was either done for social reasons or represents a genuine error. His father John Capel was a Chief Boatman with the Coast Guard. In 1854 he helped to establish St Mary's Training College in Hammersmith and became its vice-principal where he remained until 1858 when ill health forced him to resign and go to France to recover. While in France he established the English Catholic Mission at Pau. .
