EDITORS COMMENTS
The Old Order and the New," a captivating photograph by Peter Henry Emerson, captures the essence of a bygone era in this evocative image from the 1880s (Plate XII). Set in the picturesque countryside of East Anglia, England, the scene unfolds along the banks of a tranquil river, where the old world charm of traditional cottages and thatched roofs contrasts starkly with the modernity of sleek, black boats. Emerson, a pioneering figure in the realm of photographic art, expertly employs the atmospheric qualities of dusk and backlit conditions to create a sense of mystery and intrigue. The scene is further enhanced by the use of a panoramic, letterbox format, which invites the viewer to immerse themselves in the rich details of the landscape. Three men, dressed in rustic attire, can be seen on the riverbank, engaged in the timeless activity of rowing. The quiet, rural life of the region is on full display, as the men navigate the marshland waters, their boats cutting through the reflections of the setting sun. The old cottages, nestled among the marshes and the vast expanse of the Fenlands, stand as testament to the enduring allure of the countryside and the traditions that define it. This evocative, platinum print, with its hauntingly beautiful imagery, serves as a poignant reminder of the passage of time and the ever-present tension between the old and the new. The Old Order and the New is an essential piece of heritage art, showcasing the unique charm of rural England and the timeless appeal of traditional ways of life. Originally captured in the nineteenth century, this photograph is now part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences, offering a glimpse into a world that, though distant in time, remains deeply resonant and relevant.
