Emerson immersed himself in the culture of East Anglia, featuring the marshy coastal region northeast of London in more than half a dozen photographically illustrated books during his ten-year photographic career. This print was included in his first publication, Life and Landscape on the Norfolk Broads, made with Goodall, a painter. Emerson and Goodall drew their subjects from an examination\u2014at once personal and anthropological\u2014of the environment and daily rituals of rural East Anglian life. In keeping with his interest in naturalism, Emerson tried to simulate human vision by rendering his views slightly out of focus at the periphery. This use of selective focus subtly intensifies the isolation of a laborer resting on his way home from harvesting schoof-stuff, a coarse straw. The muted tonality of platinum printing further infuses the scene with a hushed reverence. By insisting on an impressionistic vision, Emerson cleared a path that would be followed by many modern photographers.
