(British, 1856–1936)
The Snow Garden, from Marsh Leaves, 1895, photogravure on paper, sheet 7 x 10-1/2 in.; matted, 16 x 21 in.
Marsh Leaves is Emerson's last published book. The sixteen photogravures the work contains are the epitome of refined elegance and minimalism. They fittingly end the nineteenth century and move photography, and fine art in general, into the modern age.
