Pictorial effect in photography
Henry Peach Robinson
Like many early photographers, Robinson had to give up darkroom work at
age thirty-four because of a nervous condition brought on by exposure
to toxic photographic chemicals.
Robinson continued an active involvement in photography. He wrote the
influential Pictorial Effect in Photography, Being Hints on Composition and Chiaroscuro for Photographers, first published in 1868. In 1891 Robinson and several others formed the Linked Ring,
a society of photographers who had grown disillusioned by the
photographic establishment as represented by the Photographic Society.
He eventually succumbed to the poisonous effects of photographic
chemicals.

Fading Away
Robinson seamlessly combined five separate negatives to produce this intimate narrative of family tragedy. The scene centers on a bedridden young woman dying of tuberculosis—or possibly of a broken heart, as suggested by the Shakespearean title of a preliminary study, “She Never Told Her Love”.
