Emerson (Peter Henry, 1856-1936). A near-full face portrait of a Southwold fisherman, c. 1886
Est: £1,000 - £1,500
Emerson (Peter Henry, 1856-1936). A near-full face portrait of a Southwold fisherman, c. 1886 * Emerson (Peter Henry, 1856-1936). A near-full face portrait of a Southwold fisherman, c. 1886, albumen print, some surface marks and indentation impressions visible when held at a raking angle, 34 x 29 cm, mounted on contemporary card, small tear with loss to upper left corner and affecting extreme corner tip of image, signed and inscribed by the photographer to mount verso, 'An Old Sea-Dog - Taken Direct, Negative untouched, by P.H. Emerson BA MB, (Copyright)', later pencil additions below (incorrectly) speculating the sitter might be Ben Lowsey or Crikey Rogers, 35 x 30.5 cm overall QTY: (1) NOTE: A rare signed portrait by Emerson, unusually using the albumen print process, rather than platinum print process. No other examples of this captivating photograph have been located. A completely full-face portrait of the same fisherman, titled 'Old Fisherman' is reproduced on p. 153 of Nancy Newhall's book, P. H. Emerson - The Fight for Photography as Fine Art (1975). On page 155 is another photograph of the same fisherman, who there appears standing between two seated fishermen in front of a shed with the sign 'Nyl-Ghau' above the door. Both are platinum prints and belong to Emerson's Southwold series of c. 1886, copies of which are held by George Eastman House, New York. The identity of the sitter remains elusive, but this particular 'old sea dog' clearly captured Emerson's imagination, as he very rarely took close-up portraits such as this. The light here falls beautifully on the subject's hair, eyes and facial features, giving the fisherman a well-lived, contemplative and poetic expression. In the known photograph, which Emerson typically produced as a platinum print, the sitter's gaze is directly at the viewer, rather than into the distance over the viewer's shoulder, as here. It is very unlikely that the negative exists and this print is quite possibly unique.

Emerson, Peter Henry: Coming home from the Marshes
Est: €1,000 - €1,200
Coming home from the Marshes. ca. 1886. Platinum palladium print. 18,9 x 28,5 cm (29,1 x 41,5 cm). Mounted to board (slightly soiled), with the original printed tissue overlay and corresponding album page from Life and Landscape on the Norfolk Broads. - - Peter Henry Emerson was an important figure in the development of naturalistic photography. Rejecting the sharp-focus precision of the time, he used selective focus and tonal subtleties to create images that mimicked human vision, blending documentary realism with artistic expression. His seminal work, Life and Landscape on the Norfolk Broads (1886), captures Fenland laborers and fishermen in their natural environment. Influenced by the Barbizon School and contemporary vision theories, he used platinum prints and photogravures to render soft, atmospheric images. Though Emerson later questioned photography’s artistic potential, his work influenced Pictorialism and remains a milestone in documentary and fine art photography. Prints of his images are housed in institutions such as the Minneapolis Institute of Art, LACMA, the National Gallery of Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. – Some small stains, otherwise a fine tonal print in excellent condition. - - Lit.: Peter Henry Emerson. Life and Landscape on the Norfolk Broads. London: 1886. ill. pl. 1. - - Sollten Sie detailliertere Zustandsberichte wünschen, kontaktieren Sie uns bitte. / Should you need more detailed condition reports, please contact us.

Photography.- Emerson (Peter Henry) Marsh Leaves, first edition, [one of 200 copies from an edition limited to 300 copies], 16 fine photogravure plates, tissue-guards (1 or 2 with short tears, 1 detached), a very good, clean copy internally, original parchment-backed cloth, neatly rebacked, retaining majority of original backstrip, some light toning to spine, light soiling to covers, t.e.g., preserved in custom drop-back box, folio, David Nutt, 1895. ⁂ A clean, attractive copy of one of the key photobooks of the period. "Certainly, the 16 photo-etchings take his art to where it could probably go no further, and as a fusion of text and imagery the book is entirely successful... It is one of the most beautiful books about isolation and solitude, perhaps death, ever made, and Emerson's spare, evocative pictures were seldom equalled by the later Pictorialists." - Grolier, The Photobook.
