John James Quinn was an avid photographer who documented his life in both Ireland and abroad through images. Between 1906-191?, he worked in Derby, England and Ipswich, Australia, photographing local people and places. The collection includes images from his voyages along with scenes of daily life in rural Ballypatrick, Ireland where Quinn farmed after returning to Ireland sometime before 1920.
