London Photographs: The developing water is so hot I can hardly bear my hands in it."He returned to England in July, a sick man suffering from cholera. Exhibitions were held of the photographs in london photographs and Paris; wood engravings of some of them were printed in the Illustrated london photographs News; prints pasted on paper mounts with engraved titles, were sold by Agnew. The london photographs Times wrote: "The photographer who follows in the wake of modern armies must be content with conditions of repose and with the still life which remains when the fighting is over."
What sort of photographs were these prints, which caused so much commotion? Just plain, straightforward itographs. But such photographs! Different from the photographs usually seen at the exhibitions? Yes. How different? There's the rub. If you could see them for yourself, you would at once appreciate their difference. |
