The Compleat Angler, 1880s
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print captured by Peter Henry Emerson in the late 19th century. This photogravure, plate xii from the album "The Compleat Angler or The Contemplative Man's Recreation, Volume I" (1888), showcases Emerson's exceptional talent as a photographer. In this mesmerizing image, we are transported to the picturesque countryside of Britain. A misty atmosphere envelops the scene, adding an ethereal quality to the composition. As our gaze wanders through the frame, we encounter a horse-drawn cart peacefully traversing along a road surrounded by lush trees and plants. Emerson masterfully captures nature's reflection on the calm water surface nearby. The mirrored image creates a sense of tranquility and serenity that invites viewers to immerse themselves in this idyllic setting. This artwork not only highlights Emerson's technical prowess but also evokes nostalgia for simpler times when horse-drawn vehicles were commonplace modes of transportation. It serves as a testament to England's rich heritage and its deep connection with nature. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this piece offers visitors an opportunity to appreciate 19th-century artistry while contemplating man's harmonious relationship with both land and water. With its timeless beauty and exquisite detail, "The Compleat Angler" continues to captivate audiences today as it did over a century ago.
