Description: | This platinum print by Colonel Joseph Gale (c1835-1906) of agricultural workers on a wooden bridge was taken in about 1890. Gale took a great deal of care over the composition of his photographs, the angular lines of the bridge, canal and bare trees framing and drawing attention to the central figures. Gale's approach to photography tended to be naturalistic rather than picturesque, taking particular care in the composition of his subjects. He was a member of the Royal Photographic Society before becoming a member of the first members of the Linked Ring Brotherhood in 1892, where he went by the name of 'Rambler'. He loved to wander through the countryside of Surrey, Berkshire and the Sussex Downs with his camera. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | photograph platinum print | Temporal: | c. 1890 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | Gale, Joseph (1830-1906) | Identifier: | 2003-5001/2/20014 | Go to resource |
