A Thames Locker c. 20th century

"A Thames Locker" is a 20th-century photograph by English photographer George Davison. The image depicts a man standing on a barge along the River Thames, which is a common theme in Davison's work. The photograph is characterized by its soft focus and muted tones, which create a sense of atmospheric mystery. The image's composition emphasizes the horizontal lines of the river and the barge, creating a sense of depth and tranquility. The muted tones and soft focus highlight the romanticism that is common in the Pictorialist movement, of which Davison was a prominent member. This photograph, measuring 4 11/16 x 6 9/16 in, is now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art collection.
