Label Text:Peter Henry Emerson was a radical photographer in his day. His concept that a photograph should be allowed to function “as a medium of expression in its own right,” without the staging and false emotion of the Victorian era, had implications still relevant today. He is considered a leading 19th-century landscape photographer, especially of genre scenes of rural life, with his best work centered on the inhabitants and scenery of the East Anglia region of England.
