Anchor c. 1870 - 1885

"Anchor" is a 19th century photograph by Joseph Norris, depicting a large, metal anchor lying on a sandy surface. The anchor's form dominates the composition, suggesting its importance in seafaring. The sepia tones and the texture of the photograph capture the era's photographic style, characteristic of the late 19th century, creating a sense of history and authenticity. Norris's work, a glimpse into the world of maritime objects, offers a unique perspective on industrial artifacts of the period.
