EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Ferry, 1887" transports us back to the enchanting coastal landscapes of 19th century Britain. Created by renowned photographer Peter Henry Emerson, this artwork is a striking example of his mastery in capturing the essence of wild life on tidal waters. In this scene, we witness a group of men standing proudly on a rowing boat turned ferry as it gracefully glides through the water's surface. The sailboat in the background adds an element of tranquility to the composition while reminding us of traditional modes of transportation during that era. Emerson's expertise in photoetching brings out intricate details and textures within each stroke, making this piece truly remarkable. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are transported to a time when boats were not only means for transport but also vessels connecting people with nature and their surroundings. "The Ferry" is part of Emerson's larger collection titled "Wild Life on a Tidal Water: The Adventures of a House-Boat and Her Crew". This limited edition print holds immense value as it represents both artistic excellence and historical significance. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago gallery, this photograph serves as a testament to Dr. Peter Henry Emerson's contribution to photography as an art form. It reminds us how art can capture fleeting moments in time while preserving them for generations to come.
