Sun Pictures of the Norfolk Broads

Payne Jennings

Verlag: Photo Printing Works, Surrey, 1891

112 pages, hardcover in gilt-titled and decorated boards, 8.25" by 6.5". First edition. Rare collection of 99 tissue-covered collotypes - two per page and a full-page frontispiece - of pastoral landscapes and waterways in rural East Anglia, clearly inspired by Peter Henry Emerson's celebrated series of rural photographs. Lovely, idyllic images showing dusk and dawn dockside, fishermen in placid, reed-strewn streams, artists composing plein air paintings in bucolic settings. Beautifully composed work - a lost gem of late 19th-century Naturalist photography, with similarities to both Emerson and Henry Peach Robinson. Highest recommendation. In very good condition to boot for such an old title - all photographs clean and unspotted, very light scattered foxing only to preliminaries, gilt to front cover bright, some sunning to spine.
