This is number 268 of a notional 500, though only 300 were ever printed. Emerson must be regarded as one of the most important influences in Victorian photography."The simple record of my impressions and experiences, whilst living with my friend T.F. Goodall on his house-boat on Breydon Water in Norfolk". A keen naturalist and photographer he records country life in Norfolk in his photographs. Breydon Water at the time was a haven for punt gunners wildfowlers and bird collectors. (As described in Newhall's 'P.H. Emerson: The Fight for Photography as a Fine Art'. and Turner and Wood's 'P.H. Emerson: Photographer of Norfolk'.)
