Description: | A photogravure of a flock of sheep in a village street, taken by George Davison (1854-1930) in 1901. In typically Impressionistic style it conveys the mood and character of English village life. Rather than providing any detailed or sharply-focused observations about the living or working conditions of the time it creates an atmosphere of settled and timeless rural tranquillity. George Davison was a noted pictorial photographer and a founder member of The Linked Ring in 1892. From 1897 he was assistant manager of the Eastman Photographic Materials Company, renamed in 1898 Kodak Limited, becoming its managing director in 1900. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | photogravure | Temporal: | 1901 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | Davison, George (1855-1930) | Identifier: | 2003-5001/2/20001 | Go to resource |
