(Patrick Montgomery, 5 October 2021) Over the course of two sunny days in April 1860, Robinson exposed six separate negatives of ten models frolicking in his backyard studio, where he had constructed a fake riverbank from a mound of earth scattered with a few ferns and wild flowers. The 'river' is a ditch filled with waste water from his print-washing machine.
 
Printed in the 1990s by Margaret Harker.
