Praeger’s photographs have a main interest in natural history, showing images of the Irish landscape, flora and fauna, Irish places and their local people, field trips, etc. Most of these photographs are copies of originals taken by Robert John Welch, 1859-1936.

There are over 1,000 photos from c.1890s to 1940s and 1 photo album containing photographs taken during excursions of the Belfast Naturalists’ Field Club (c. 1892-1893) which was presented to Robert Lloyd Praeger on 4 July 1893, on the occasion of his moving to Dublin.
