Untitled [village and river scene] 1900

This photograph, “Untitled [village and river scene],” by William J. Mullins, captures a tranquil village scene with a winding river. The composition focuses on a small village nestled along the riverbank, with houses and trees forming a soft, hazy silhouette against the pale sky. Mullins’ use of muted tones and the absence of sharply defined details creates a sense of serenity and timelessness. The photograph's small size makes it an intimate and personal glimpse into the quiet beauty of rural life.
