The Ferry Boat Inn, Tottenham, 1880s
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print captured by the talented photographer Peter Henry Emerson. This remarkable piece of art takes us back to the enchanting countryside of England in the late 19th century. The image showcases the iconic Ferry Boat Inn, a historic pub located on the banks of River Lea (or Lee) in Tottenham, London. The photogravure technique used by Emerson adds depth and texture to this scenic landscape, emphasizing every intricate detail. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a man standing near the inn's entrance, adding a human touch to an otherwise serene setting. The bridge spanning over the river creates a picturesque backdrop for this charming establishment that has stood witness to countless stories throughout its existence. Emerson's composition beautifully captures not only the physical structure but also evokes a sense of nostalgia and heritage associated with British country life. It transports viewers back to an era when simplicity reigned supreme and nature was cherished as an integral part of everyday life. This artwork is part of "The Compleat Angler or The Contemplative Man's Recreation". Volume II album published in 1888. With only 250 editions produced worldwide, it holds immense historical value and can now be admired at the Art Institute Chicago - a testament to Emerson's mastery as well as his contribution to capturing Britain's cultural heritage through photography.
