Schepen op de Breydon nabij Great Yarmouth before 1890

"Schepen op de Breydon nabij Great Yarmouth," is a photograph by Peter Henry Emerson, a pioneer of naturalistic photography. Created before 1890, this image captures the essence of the Breydon Water, a broad expanse of tidal water near Great Yarmouth, England. Emerson's work aimed to capture the authenticity of nature through a soft-focus technique, mimicking the human eye's perception. The image portrays a serene landscape with a single boat sailing across the water. This photograph embodies the tenets of the "New Photography" movement, emphasizing a direct, unmanipulated approach to photography.
