| 7. |  | William Lake Price 1855 Don Quixote in his Study 32.4 x 28.3 cm (image) 60.5 x 50 cm (mount) Victoria and Albert Museum Museum Number: 3-1976 W.H. Lake Price was a painter as well as a photographer. He exhibited several photographs of literary characters, such as Robinson Crusoe and Don Quixote. These parallel reconstructions by painters. Here the model - book in hand - rolls his eyes, looking sharply up and to his left, as a way of indicating Don Quixote's eccentric demeanour. The study is also reminiscent one described by Sir Walter Scott in his novel The Antiquary (1816). The Museum's founding-director Sir Henry Cole saw and disliked such historical costume-piece photographs ('the dramatic Scenes I think failures') but bought The First of September, a still life, by the same photographer. |

The photograph displays a technical virtuosity unrivaled in the 1850s. Working at a time when photographic chemistry required long exposures, Robinson nevertheless managed to give the girl a spontaneous, candid facial expression that looks natural in spite of the photograph's early date. One of the most influential photographers of the nineteenth century, Robinson argued for a photographic art based on conscious composition; that is, one in which the photographer carefully planned and arranged the subject, often with the aid of preliminary sketches, before making a picture. |
