Description
"Henry Taunt was one of the most innovative and prolific of Victorian photographers. Working mainly in and around Oxford, he found his favorite subject in the River Thames. He went on to capture its astonishing variety in thousands of glass plate negatives, portraying the natural beauties of the river itself and its landscape, the historic houses, bridges and other riverside buildings which mark its progress, to its place as a playground for oarsmen, fishermen, and other lovers of outdoor life." "Graham Diprose and Jeff Robins have selected some seventy of Taunt's finest photographs, and, revisiting the sites, have recorded the same views using techniques that are at the cutting edge of today's digital technology. Alongside runs a commentary drawn from Taunt's own numerous guidebooks. The result is a book of beauty and power, which at once evokes a vanished world and captures the contemporary beauty of a timeless landscape."--Jacket.
