Description: | During his career as a photographer George Davison (1854-1930) took photographs in two distinct styles. His 'straight' photographs, often taken to demonstrate a new camera or process, were used by Kodak for publicity purposes. His other work, which he exhibited, was generally pictorial in nature and, from 1890 onwards, decidedly Impressionistic in style. This photograph of cottages in the South of France shows his pictorial approach to composition. It was donated to the RPS by Paul Martin in 1934. 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: | photograph | Temporal: | 1907 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | Davison, George (1855-1930) | Identifier: | 2003-5001/2/20297 | Go to resource |
