Gunner Working Up To Fowl, 1886
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph captured by Dr Peter Henry Emerson in the late 19th century. This remarkable image showcases the essence of rural life in East Anglia, England. In this tranquil scene, we witness a man stealthily rowing his boat through the Norfolk Broads marshes. With his gun at hand, he patiently works up to fowl that gracefully glide across the water's surface. The peacefulness of this moment is beautifully depicted through the monochromatic tones and delicate play of light and shadow. Emerson's mastery lies not only in capturing the natural beauty of these wetlands but also in conveying a sense of heritage and regionalism. The reeds surrounding the boat add an authentic rustic touch to this timeless composition. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes apparent that "Gunner Working Up To Fowl" transcends mere documentation; it transports us back to an era where hunting was both a means for sustenance and a way of life. It serves as a poignant reminder of our connection with nature and how humans have long relied on its resources. This platinum print from glass negative now resides within the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, serving as an enduring testament to Dr Peter Henry Emerson's contribution to photography as an art form.
