Untitled c. 1900

John G. Bullock’s “Untitled” (c. 1900) depicts a young girl feeding a pony in a pastoral setting. The black and white photograph captures a moment of quiet intimacy between the girl and the animal, highlighting the gentle nature of their interaction. The composition is simple yet effective, drawing the viewer’s eye to the central figures against the backdrop of a lush hedge. Bullock's photographic style, with its focus on natural light and candid moments, is characteristic of the Pictorialist movement, which aimed to elevate photography to the status of fine art. This image is a testament to Bullock's talent for capturing everyday scenes with a sense of poetry and grace.
