Wharfe and Pool, Below the Strid, 1854 - A Glimpse into 19th Century Angling in North Yorkshire
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Roger Fenton takes us back to the tranquil beauty of Wharfe River in North Yorkshire, England. Captured in 1854, it showcases a picturesque scene below Bolton Strid where an angler indulges in his beloved pastime. The image transports us to a time when men donned their finest attire for outdoor pursuits. The angler stands proudly on the creek's rocky bank, dressed impeccably in his formal clothing complete with a distinguished top hat. His presence adds an air of sophistication amidst the rugged landscape. Fenton's mastery lies not only in capturing human subjects but also highlighting nature's wonders. The river flows gracefully through the frame while rock formations create intriguing patterns that draw our gaze deeper into this enchanting scene. As we admire this salted paper print from Fenton's lens, we can almost feel the serenity that envelops these surroundings. It reminds us of a simpler era when fishing was not just about catching fish but also about connecting with nature and finding solace within its embrace. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their heritage collection, this photograph serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece. Through Fenton's lens, we are transported to another time - one filled with tranquility and appreciation for the natural world around us.
