EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Brickmaking (Norfolk), c. 1883/87, printed 1888" transports us back to the late 19th century in rural England. Created by renowned photographer Peter Henry Emerson, this work is a part of his album "Pictures of East Anglian Life" from 1888. The image showcases two men engaged in the laborious process of brickmaking at a brickyard in Norfolk. The scene exudes an air of authenticity and offers a glimpse into the daily lives of local people during that era. Dr. Peter Henry Emerson's keen eye for detail captures not only the physicality of their work but also their expressions and body language, revealing both concentration and determination. As we observe these men amidst piles of bricks and tools, we are reminded of the significance that manual labor held within British society at that time. This photograph serves as a testament to their hard work and dedication while highlighting the importance of industries like brickmaking in shaping the country's infrastructure. Displayed within an art gallery or institute such as Chicago's Art Institute, this piece becomes more than just a historical documentation; it transforms into an artistic representation reflecting Britain's industrial heritage. Through photogravure technique employed by Emerson, every intricate detail is preserved with remarkable precision. Emerson's ability to capture moments frozen in time allows viewers to connect with our past, appreciate our roots, and gain insight into how far we have come since then.
