Peter Henry EMERSON (1856-1936)
Rowing Home the Schoof-Stuff.
Platinum print, ca. 1885, printed 1886, image 5 x 11-1/16 in., mounted to
the original folio leaf with the printed tissue title overleaf.
Plate XXI, P.H. Emerson and T.F. Goodall,
Life and Landscape on the Norfolk
Broads, London: Sampson Low, Marston, Searle and Rivington, 1886.
Emerson's dual guiding theses, photography composed in its own pure art form
and a documentary naturalism intact without alteration, combine in this deeply
tonal platinum print. A vertical counterpoint to the larger whole, the rower
glides through an opening created by his own shadows.
