Description: | An albumen print photograph entitled 'Spoils of Wood and Stream', taken by Roger Fenton, around 1858. This photograph is one of nearly 50 still lifes made by Fenton towards the end of his career. The majority of the still lifes are variations on the same theme: fruit, flowers, small statuettes, drinking cups and patterned textiles, a few, however, feature game birds, fish and hares. The photograph is arranged to highlight the contrast between the skin of the fish, the rabbits' fur, the grass and the woven basket. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | albumen print photograph | Temporal: | c. 1858 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | Fenton, Roger (1819-1869) | Identifier: | 2003-5001/2/21134 | Go to resource |
