Description: | An atmospheric photogravure of a still, marshy pool beneath a brooding sky, taken by Alfred Horsley Hinton (1863-1908) in about 1895. It was exhibited in the Salon of 1896 and appeared as a photogravure in a portfolio published in 1896. The subject, the Essex flatlands, was one of Hinton's favourite areas for landscape photography. During his short career, lasting from 1889 to 1907, Hinton was editor of the Amateur Photographer magazine and was a founder and leading member of the Linked Ring. Hinton trained initially as a draughtsman and painter and brought an artist's eye to his photography. He was regarded as an outstanding landscape photographer, concerned more with capturing the feeling and sentiment of the landscape rather than with the technicalities of composition. He would often combine two or more negatives to produce a composite print. A leading advocate of Pictorialism he was seen as a major influence on British photography at the time. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | photogravure | Temporal: | c. 1895 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | Hinton, Alfred Horsley (1863-1908) | Identifier: | 2003-5001/2/20016 | Go to resource |
