The Approach; In the Wood; By the Lake 1853 - 1856

This photographic album of three images, titled *The Approach, In the Wood, By the Lake,* was created by James Knight between 1853 and 1856. The images are circular, reminiscent of the "carte de visite" format that was popular at the time. Knight, a skilled photographer, captured the beauty of a woodland path, showcasing the details of the trees, branches, and natural light filtering through the foliage. The composition of the images is simple, emphasizing the natural beauty of the scene. These images offer a glimpse into the idyllic countryside of the Victorian era. *The Approach* is a view of a path leading into the forest, *In the Wood* reveals a clearing with the forest beyond, and *By the Lake* showcases the path near the lake. The combination of these images provides a glimpse into the artist’s artistic vision and the beauty of nature through the medium of photography.
