A slippery path — winter scene (Norfolk). Photographer: Emerson, Peter Henry
- Scope & Content:
-
Inscription: Signed in the plate, 'P. H. Emerson.'
Genre: Landscape Photography
Study of a woman posed in a snow-covered landscape, about cross the small footbridge in the foreground; a row of cottages stands in the background: 'The cottages in our plate are tenanted by peasants more prosperous than some we know; yet even here what a life! ... In our plate we see the young mother crossing a slippery ice-glazed plank which bridges the frozen dike. She, careless of her health, has come from the close house to call her husband, who is busy in the workshop, to his dinner. He too has been ill with fever and cough-racking bronchitis, which subtly and slowly was blocking up the paths of his life with its viscid gum. Thanks to the rude doctoring of the village leech, he still lives on, and is now at work.'
