These beautiful photographs display Fr Browne’s customary understanding of composition and offer a sympathetic insight into what was by then a fast-vanishing world. This is a priceless record of the Irish country house at a critical moment in its history.

Father Browne is well known for his collection of Titanic photographs. He spent the rest of his life taking photographs all around Ireland and beyond. He made frequent trips to Wicklow where he photographed the landscape and people.
