Description
Born in Cork, Ireland, Frank Browne (1880-1960) was both a distinguished Jesuit and an accomplished photographer.
At age 17, before commencing his studies for the priesthood, he embarked on a tour of Europe armed with a camera.
Browne quickly discovered a strong affinity for photography, and continued to take photographs throughout his life.
It was not until 1985, however-when Father Edward O'Donnell SJ discovered a large trunk in the Irish Jesuit Provincial's House and found it packed with negatives and photographs-that Browne was catapulted to international fame.
Father Browne's remarkable life is recorded in the superb selection of images presented in this book.
With wit and a sharp eye, he observed 20th-century Ireland; life as a Jesuit priest; his experience as a passenger on the first leg of the voyage of the Titanic in 1912; and his later travels throughout Europe, Egypt, Yemen, Ceylon, and Australia.
This handsome, copiously illustrated volume offers a complete survey of the photographic work of an exceptional man. Exhibition Schedule:Farmleigh House, Dublin (10/22/14-12/22/14)
