Frank Browne by David Davison
Born in Cork, Ireland, Francis Browne (1880-1960) was both a distinguished Jesuit and an accomplished photographer. In this book, Father Browne's remarkable life is recorded in a selection of images.
‘Father Francis Browne is fated to be best remembered for the unique and unforgettable images he took during those few days aboard the doomed TitanicBut this new book shows he deserves a rather wider place in photographic history. The rediscovery and restoration of his huge treasure trove of photographs is one of the most satisfying results of today’s increasing study and archiving of the history of the medium.’—Colin Ford, Black & White Photography.

“The Davisons take the lead with the present volume, which distinguishes itself from its predecessors in format and quality...[M]ost of the earlier books were conceived as narrowly-focused scrapbooks, combining multiple photographs on each page, often alongside newspaper clippings and other ephemera, A Life Through the Lens has higher ambitions. Most of its pages reproduce a single beautifully-printed photograph to emphasize its tonal nuances and formal, rather than historical interest.”—Ash Anderson, Journal of Jesuit Studies -- Ash Anderson * Journal of Jesuit Studies *
