| | Frederick Evans (1853-1943) - Checklist |
Contextual notes:
Frederick H. Evans was a London bookseller who turned to photography later in life - he selected religious architecture, especially the great cathedrals of England and France, as a subject that the camera was well suited for being able to capture the subtle tonalities of the subdued stone interiors. Whilst these remain the most famous of his work he also took landscapes and portraits including one of Fred Holland Day, another noted photographer, in Arab costume (ca. 1901) during a masquerade with Alvin Langdon Coburn.
The photographic historian Beaumont Newhall published the definitive monograph "Frederick Evans: Photographer of the Majesty, Light and Space of the Medieval Cathedrals of England and France" in 1973 (Aperture). |
