The School Path; The Shanty; Haymakers 1853 - 1856

"The School Path; The Shanty; Haymakers" is a collection of three photographs by James Knight, created between 1853 and 1856. The larger photograph depicts a path winding through a forest, likely near the artist's home. The smaller circular images offer glimpses into rural life: "The Shanty" shows a small wooden structure, possibly a simple dwelling, while "Haymakers" captures a group of people working in a field. Knight's work exemplifies the rise of landscape photography in the mid-19th century, focusing on nature's beauty and everyday scenes.
