Renowned photographer, Fr Browne, was one of the first Jesuits to take up residence there. During his twenty-eight years in the county Frank Browne took not less than 7,863 photographs of Laois and, as this book shows, he traversed the country from Ballinakill to Mountmellick, from Rathdowney to Stradballey. His photographs of Emo Court are given a whole chapter to themselves. In 2012 the Office of Public Works opened a permanent Browne exhibition at Emo Court. This volume comprises over 100 photos of people and places in Laois, all taken in the first half of the twentieth century.About the Author:In 1985 Fr Eddie O\'Donnell SJ discovered the Fr Browne collection in the Jesuit archives in Dublin. He has become the curator of the collection and has devoted much of his life to promoting the work of Fr Browne, establishing exhibitions in several locations and publishing over 20 volumes of photographs.
