Limerick though the lens of ‘father’ of photography

CORK born Jesuit, Fr Francis Browne’s collection of photographs, taken throughout the country - wherever his priestly work took him - is regarded as one of the finest of its kind in the world.

Of the 42,000 negatives he left, all were neatly dated and captioned.

More than nine hundred of these were taken in Limerick, where Fr Browne taught for a time at Crescent College.
