River scene, Java. Photographer: Woodbury, Walter Bentley
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
View looking along an unidentified river in Java, with tropical forest on either side, and several raft-like boats moored on the right. With accompanying letterpress by Alfred Russell Wallace, who identifies many of the plant species seen in the photograph: 'Our illustration, therefore, shows us no less than seven of the most useful, beautiful, and curious tropical plants; and if the reader will imagine an undergrowth of dwarf palms, and ferns, and glossy-leaved vegetation, all in the most vigorous and luxuriant growth, under the influence of constant showers and intense sunlight; brilliant birds flitting among the trees; numerous butterflies fluttering lazily, now in sunlight, now in shade; shining lizards creeping noiselessly about; and the constant hum of insects filling the air, — they will be better able to picture for themselves that living reality of a tropical landscape, which even the truthful photograph can only perfectly represent.'
