Sharing my favorite images from the early days of photography...

Early photography: Dawn and Sunset – Henry Peach Robinson

Title: Dawn and Sunset

Date: 1885

Location: England

Photographer: Henry Peach Robinson (1830-1901)

Process: platinum print from glass negative

Note: Robinson pioneered the "combination printing" technique (a.k.a. early photomontage). He used a number of negatives to form a single image, which gave him greater control over the resulting scene than would have been possible with a single exposure.

The image above is a symbolic portrayal of three generations.
