EDITORS COMMENTS
Gunner Working Up to Fowl," a captivating photograph by Peter Henry Emerson from the 1880s, portrays a lone hunter in the tranquil marshlands of East Anglia, England. The black and white platinum print, Plate XIX, depicts the hunter, dressed in traditional hunting attire, lying down in a shallow boat, surrounded by reeds and marshland. He is intently focused on the waterfowl in the distance, his gun at the ready. Emerson, a pioneer of the British documentary style of photography, captured the essence of rural life in this photograph. The image conveys the quiet, almost meditative, moment before the hunt, as the hunter waits for his prey to come within range. The use of a rowboat for transportation through the marshland adds to the rustic and authentic feel of the scene. The photograph is a testament to the rich heritage of the English countryside and the traditions that have shaped it. The hunter's stealthy pose and the stillness of the marshland create a striking contrast, highlighting the delicate balance between man and nature. The image is a beautiful example of the regionalism movement, which celebrated the unique character and culture of specific regions. This photograph, now held in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a valuable addition to the history of photography and a reminder of the beauty and simplicity of rural life in the 19th century.
