Description: | A gum bichromate print produced by William A Cadby (1866-1937) in 1905, perhaps as a Christmas card or gift. The strong lines of the fences and the house on the hilltop dominate the monochrome landscape. Detail is kept to a minimum. This simplicity of form, tone and detail shows the strong influence of Japanese art on Cadby's work. During his early career Cadby concentrated on photographing landscapes and children, latter expanding into adult portraiture. He was especially noted for his delicate and sympathetic portrayal of childhood. Like his wife Carine Cadby's (1866-1957), William was a member of the Linked Ring Brotherhood, joining in 1895. Both he and his wife wrote extensively in the photographic press. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | photograph gum bichromate print | Temporal: | 1905 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | Cadby, William A (1866-1937) | Identifier: | 2003-5001/2/17317 | Go to resource |
