Press Notices.
“It contains a dozen exquisite studies of the Broads and their borders, reproduced by their well-known delicate process of autogravure. These pictures are selected with true artistic feeling, and in almost every case they have ‘composed’ as perfectly as though they were arranged at will and not by Nature. There is but one word which fitly indicates their merit, and that is one borrowed from their title—idyllic.”—Land and Water.
“In a handsome, delicate portfolio, in white and gold, in choice and luxurious form, are presented a dozen deeply mounted autogravure plates, on India paper, from photographic negatives. They are loving studies of beloved aspects and incidents in the land of the famous Broads, in every season of the year and in various phases of the quiet life of that country. Mr. Emerson’s text, printed on fine old English rough quarto paper, poetically descriptive of the country and of the scenes of the pictures, makes beautiful bits of writing.”—School Board Chronicle.
