As a passenger on the first two legs of Titanic's ill fated voyage, Father Francis Browne SJ's photographs are an immensely important record. As well as taking a unique set of photos, Father Browne also assembled an incredibly valuable album of Titanic material such as an original deck plan, menus, letters to him from fellow passengers, contemporary newspaper cuttings and other documents, many of which are reproduced here. Thanks to the gift of a ticket from his uncle, a young Jesuit named Francis Browne travelled on the Titanic during her maiden voyage from Southampton, to Cherbourg to Cork. Invited to remain with the ship as it crossed the Atlantic, Fr Browne was saved from possible disaster by a telegram from his Jesuit superior ordering him to "get off that ship". When the unthinkable happened and the Titanic sank, Fr Browne's photographs appeared on the front pages of newspapers all around the world. For many years the photographs of Fr Browne were forgotten until 1985 when Fr Eddie O'Donnell happened across an old tin trunk in the Jesuit archives and re-discovered 42,000 photographs, including the Titanic collection.

Ireland’s finest photographer in the 20th century, Fr Frank Browne repeatedly visited County Wicklow across almost half a century. Over that time, he had the opportunity to capture images of this part of the country as it underwent change and yet, somehow, retained its essential character. The earliest photograph, for example, is of the Dargle Valley, a spot that looks much the same today as it did when Fr Browne first went there in 1910. Other pictures show landmark beauty spots such as the Powerscourt Waterfall and the Sugarloaf Mountain, as well as the rugged landscape of the Sally Gap. The monastic remains of Glendalough are exquisitely caught, along with the still waters of Lough Tay. But while his eye was able to spot the timeless beauty of this rural idyll, Fr Browne also noted the modern and innovative, capturing key moments in the development of a newly independent Ireland, such as the construction of the Poulaphouca Reservoir in the late 1930s and workers in the newly opened Solus Teoranta Lightbulb Factory in Bray. Cars are few, but bicycles plentiful in his photographs. The advent of modern technology contrasts with traditional pastimes: a horse fair in Blessington, sheep dipping on a farm, a thatcher repairing the roof of an old cottage. He shows bustling preparations for the International Eucharistic Congress of June 1932, along with commercial activity in towns such as Arklow and Wicklow. New schools are shown being built in the first, older pursuits like fishing continue in the second. And Fr Browne’s ability to gain access everywhere means he was able to photograph many of Wicklow’s most famous historic houses, like Powerscourt before its interiors were tragically destroyed by fire, and Shelton Abbey which he visited just a year before the building and its contents were sold. The book is divided into five/six sections, each offering readers the chance to follow in Fr Browne’s footsteps and explore a different part of the county.

Father Francis Browne SJ, Titanic photographer and much decorated war chaplain, began to take flying lessons at Baldonnell Aerodrome, near Dublin, in 1925. His first aerial photographs were taken in 1926 and he was still flying over County Dublin in light aircraft until the 1930s. It was in the 1940s, however, that Fr Browne took most of his photographs of aircraft and airports. Aviation had developed greatly and grass airstrips gave way to concrete runways, as glorified shacks and Nissen huts made way for sophisticated terminal buildings. During the 1950s Fr Browne took commercial flights to visit family in England. Eddie O'Donnell SJ has once again researched the Father Browne Archive and has put together a truly fascinating collection of photographs telling the story of the early years of aviation in Ireland.

Father Frank Browne S.J. took some 42,000 photographs during his long life (1880-1960). Following his return to Ireland from Australia in 1925, until illness caused him to gradually forego photography in the early 1950s, he took over 30,000 photographs around the country. Some 4,600 of these were Dublin pictures. Fr Browne's Dublin: Photographs 1925-1950 presents a selection of one hundred of these photographs, portraying both the photographer's vision and the city's energy as it changes during the first half of the twentieth century. Fr Browne focuses on the city's people, at work, playing, watching. It is a city of children, fallen horses, window shoppers, churchgoers, canals, bridges, boats, trams and trains. Its grand houses and its tenements, its middle classes and its poor, its industry and its hospitals - all find a response in this marvelous photographer's eye. Among these are many classic pictures: historical images of Dublin through the decades - looking up Lord Edward Street, for instance, and O'Connell Street - deserted, then thronged - during the Eucharistic Congress in 1932, Dolphin's Barn in the snow; brilliant and memorable portraits such as the 'Communion Girl' in her hospital bed, the face at the window, the flower seller, timeless photographs that 'belong' to the city - the children's tea-party, off-loading at Dublin port, looking at the Kodak cameras in Grafton Street, the greaser at Inchicore; moody memories of Stephen's Green, of the B&I ferry, the canals; and snapshots of piano players, laughing maids from Linden, family scenes and twin-tubbed washrooms. Fr Browne's Dublin is a treasure of images, a collection of outstanding photographs, brimful of wisdom, humour,nostalgia, artistry, information and record. Printed in duotone to reflect the quality of the originals, these photographs give pleasure again and again and again.
