Description: | A carbon print by Alfred Horsley Hinton (1863-1908), presented to the Royal Photographic Society by John Cimon Warburg (1867-1931). One of his favourite photographic subjects was the Yorkshire Moors, and here he has captured the bleak beauty of a lonely cottage in a wind-swept landscape. The cloudy sky is particularly impressive, Hinton often using combined negatives to produce spectacular effects. During his short career lasting form 1889 to 1907 Hinton was editor of the Amateur Photographer, 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. Hinton was certainly viewed with considerable respect and affection by his fellow Pictorialist, although unfortunately little of his work now survives. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | carbon print photograph | Temporal: | 1902 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | Hinton, Alfred Horsley (1863-1908) | Identifier: | 2003-5001/2/20300 | Go to resource |
