About
This ground-breaking book draws on the collections of the Royal Photographic Society at the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television in Bradford, as well as other collections to provide a unique account of Emerson's position in the history of photography. John Taylor's essays discuss Emerson's radical approach to photography, his historical and social context, his relationship to his contemporaries, as well as to debates and to technical innovations. He examines in depth several of Emerson's iconic images, and introduces an unrecorded, newly discovered albumen print (Tidal Creek and Old Warehouses south of Southwold, Suffolk).
