"description": "In the 1850s London lawyer Henry White was also recognized as one of Britain's most gifted landscape photographers. His work helped to establish the aesthetic standard for 19th-century British landscape photography. This charming image is an example of his best known work\u2014intimate, lyrical landscapes taken in northern Wales. Here White carefully balanced his desire to faithfully record elaborate details with broad atmospheric effects. As with many of his photographs, this print registers a city-dweller's delight in finding himself in natural surroundings.",

Active during the 1850s-60s, White produced picturesque landscapes of England and North Wales. Common subjects were cottages, mills, and fields, as well as closeup views of foliage and other images of nature.\r\n\tWhite joined the Photographic Society of London in 1855 and was active in the group, serving as treasurer for many years and contributing photographs to their albums in 1855 and 1857. He also belonged to the Photographic Society of Great Britain. His exhibited work met with considerable praise; he won the highest medal at the 1855 Exposition Universelle in Paris, and his landscape photographs were honored at the International Exhibition in Brussels in 1856. That same year, White published a series of views of London. T.W.F.",
