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. Father Browne also assembled 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.
Ireland possesses a wealth of follies – picturesque buildings erected to commemorate loved ones, to enhance a view, to tell a tale from the past … or simply on the whim of their wealthy owners. Join photographer George Munday on a tour around the eccentric, beautiful, bizarre and eye-catching follies that decorate our island.
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.
