EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Setting the Bow Net, Life and Landscape on the Norfolk Broads" transports viewers back to the late 19th century in rural England. Taken by renowned photographers Peter Emerson and Thomas Goodall, this image captures a moment of traditional life on the Norfolk Broads. In this scene, we see a fowler carefully setting up a bow net amidst a picturesque landscape. The rushes and reeds sway gently in the wind as he meticulously constructs his trap made of wicker work. This ancient technique was commonly used for catching various aquatic creatures such as lobsters. The differential focusing technique employed by Emerson and Goodall adds depth to this naturalistic photograph. It beautifully showcases the fen country's vast marshes, emphasizing their importance in both livelihoods and aesthetics during that time. As we admire this historical snapshot, we can't help but appreciate its ability to transport us into an era long gone. The attention to detail captured within each element of this composition is truly remarkable – from the intricate construction of the bow net to every blade of grass surrounding it. "Setting the Bow Net" serves not only as a visual documentation but also as an artistic representation of East Anglia's rich cultural heritage. Its inclusion in private collections like The Stapleton Collection ensures that these glimpses into our past are preserved for generations to come.
