Peter Henry Emerson is a crucial figure in the evolution of fine art photography, from its roots in the nineteenth century to its modernist manifestation in the early twentieth century. In Life and Landscape in the Norfolk Broads, his first and most important book, Emerson, accompanied by his friend, the artist Thomas Goodall, sought to document the disappearing traditions of rural working life. They capture scenes of reed harvesters, marshmen, and eel catchers, balancing scientific and artistic developments in photography, social reportage, and natural history. The photographs, twenty-seven by Emerson and Goodall and thirteen by Emerson alone, are accompanied by a text describing aspects of life in and around the inland waterways of the Norfolk Broads.'The subtle prints and insightful handling of the subjects combine to make this the most important of Emerson's illustrated books. The text gives sociological dimension to photographs that are cornerstones of British photographic estheticism' (Truthful Lens)According to Robert S. Kahan and J.B.
