EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph titled "The water-rail" takes us back in time to the early 20th century, specifically the 1910s. The image showcases a remarkable moment captured by Richard Kearton (1862-1928) and Cherry Kearton (1871-1940), renowned nature photographers of their time. In this private collection print, we are transported into the heart of nature as we witness the beauty and grace of a water-rail. This elusive bird, known for its secretive behavior, is depicted with striking detail against a serene backdrop of water. Its elegant form is perfectly highlighted in monochrome tones, emphasizing every intricate feather and contour. Originally featured in Keartons Nature Pictures published by Cassel in 1910, this photograph stands as a testament to the couple's dedication to capturing the wonders of wildlife during an era when photography was still evolving. Their pioneering work paved the way for future generations of nature photographers. As we admire this historical piece, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance within natural history. The water-rail serves as a reminder that our planet has always been home to extraordinary creatures deserving our admiration and protection. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to connect with both artistry and science while immersing ourselves in an enchanting glimpse into early 20th-century natural history photography.
