About the artist
He began his professional life running a bookshop in Cheapside, frequented by the likes of Bernard Shaw and Aubrey Beardsley. However, in 1896, he gave up his bookselling life to pursue a career in photography. His specialty was architectural photography, taking long exposed shots of English cathedrals to capture the interplay of light and shadow. In 1894, he joined The Linked Ring and advocated for thematic arrangement in photo exhibits. By 1914, his focus had shifted away from photography entirely.
