FADING AWAY

 

"Fading Away" 1858 photograph by Henry Peach Robinson
 
This famous and controversial print was made from five separate negatives. It was viewed by much of the public as too painful for such a literal medium. However, the controversy made Robinson the most famous photographer in England and became the leader of the Pictorialist movement, which advocated achieving painterly effects in photography.
