Ref. AP-52 Original English Art
Photograph – around 1860 in its original frame
This restful original and
artistic photograph (not a reprint), possibly of a London park scenery or taken
along the Thames (not a reprint), in its original oval frame, shows a
magnificently captured cloudy sky mirrored on the water divided by a
footbridge, with a number of rowing boats. A lonely figure is walking along the
straight path on the left of the photograph. Note also the highlighted tree
trunks on the right side reverberating on the water. A few people are standing
by the waterfront. In the middle background
there are buildings from the hilltop to the embankment. Is this master shot
taken on Hampstead Heath or somewhere along the Thames? There is no indication
who the photographer was.
A good reference work in connection with photographs of this period is: “Photography – History of an Art” by
Jan-Luc Daval, SKIRA , 1982.
This unique photograph (Hampstead Heath, London) is offered
in excellent condition (minor old damp marks on the right hand side are hardly
visible). A new one, matching the colour of water and sky, has replaced the old
mount. The original oval frame for this photograph has been reconditioned.
