Marshman Going to Cut Schoof-Stuff, 1886
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating monochrome photograph taken by the renowned English photographer, Peter Henry Emerson. This striking image, which is plate XXII from Emerson's collection, transports us back to the 1880s and the beautiful yet rugged East Anglian countryside of England. The photograph depicts a solitary figure, a man dressed in a simple, workman's outfit, standing on the edge of a marshy area near a river. He is about to embark on a task, likely cutting "schoof-stuff," a term that was used in the region for the reeds and other vegetation growing in the marshland, which were used for thatching roofs and making baskets. The man is shown in a rear view, adding to the sense of intimacy and immediacy. He is positioned against the backdrop of a vast, open landscape, dotted with boats and boatswains' gear, suggesting the importance of water transport in this rural community. The photograph captures the raw beauty of nature, with the reeds and plants swaying gently in the wind, and the water reflecting the sky above. The use of a platinum print process adds to the photograph's timeless quality, making it a true masterpiece of heritage art. This photograph is not only a window into the past but also a testament to the enduring allure of the English countryside and the simple pleasures of rural life. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of photography, regionalism, or the natural beauty of East Anglia. This photograph is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
