A Frosty Morning at Coltishall Possibly 1890 - 1893

"A Frosty Morning at Coltishall" is a photograph by Peter Henry Emerson, taken sometime between 1890 and 1893. The image depicts a snow-covered landscape with a bridge and a river in the foreground. The muted tones and soft focus of the image capture the cold and quiet atmosphere of a winter morning, reflecting Emerson's interest in the natural world and his "naturalistic" photography style. This work showcases Emerson's use of the platinum printing process, which resulted in a unique tonal range. This photograph, like others in Emerson's "Life and Landscape" series, aimed to show the beauty of the everyday landscape in a way that was both realistic and evocative.
