Henry Peach Robinson

Henry Peach Robinson (9 July 1830, Ludlow, Shropshire – 21 February 1901, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent) was an English pictorialist photographer best known for his pioneering combination printing〔Robinson, H. P. (1860). On Printing Photographic Pictures from Several Negatives. ''British Journal of Photography'', 7(115), 94.〕 - joining multiple negatives or prints to form a single image;〔Vertrees, A. (1982). The picture making of Henry Peach Robinson'.Perspectives on Photography, Austin, Texas, Humanities Research Center, University of Texas, 79, 101.〕 an early example of photomontage.〔Oscar Gustave Rejlander preceded Robinson in developing combination printing techniques in the mid-1850s, exhibiting his ''The Two Ways of Life'' by 1857, while in the 1855 Journal of Photography Scottish colleagues Berwick and Annan proposed such a technique. Earlier again, in 1852 De Montfort published ''Procede de grouper plusiers portraits obtenue isolement afin d'en former un seul tableau heliographique'' (Procedure for grouping several separately obtained portraits in order to make a single heliographic plate). See . Gustave Le Gray, also in 1957, achieved simultaneous detail in both sky and sea through combination printing in his 'The Great Wave', 1857, Albumen print from collodion-on-glass negative. Museum no. 68:004, Victoria and Albert Museum, London. French architectural photographer Edouard Baldus, commissioned in 1851 to document the state of French architectural heritage, employed combination printing techniques from paper negatives to produce not only panoramas, but also to deal with technical limitations of exposure range and depth of focus, particularly for his ''Cloister of St.. Trephine, Arles'', 1851〕 He joined vigorously in contemporary debates〔Robinson, H. P. (1860). Composition NOT Patchwork. ''British Journal of Photography'', 7(121), 190.〕 in the photographic press and associations about the legitimacy of 'art photography' and in particular the combining of separate images into one.〔Harker, M. (1989). Henry Peach Robinson:“The Grammar of Art.”. ''British Photography in the Nineteenth Century''.〕
==Life==
Robinson was the oldest of four children of John Robinson, a Ludlow schoolmaster, and his wife Eliza. He was educated at Horatio Russell's academy in Ludlow until he was thirteen, when he took a year's drawing tuition with Richard Penwarne before being apprenticed to a Ludlow bookseller and printer, Richard Jones.
While continuing to study art, his initial career was in bookselling, in 1850 working for the Bromsgrove bookseller Benjamin Maund, then in 1851 for the London-based Whittaker & Co. In 1852 he exhibited an oil painting, ''On the Teme Near Ludlow'', at the Royal Academy.〔The journal 'The Photogram', in a brief biography of HP Robinson, wrote:
:Mr Robinson ... early took to artistic and literary pursuits. While quite a boy, he contributed both matter and sketches to 'The London Illustrated News' and 'The Journal of the Archaeological Society'; and before he came of age, exhibited a painting at the Exhibition of the Royal Academy
(Photogram, March 1895, p.81 )
〕 That same year he began taking photographs, and five years later, following a meeting with the photographer Hugh Welch Diamond, decided to devote himself to that medium, in 1855 opening a studio in Leamington Spa, selling portraits.
In 1856, with Rejlander, he was a founding member of the Birmingham Photographic Society.
In 1859 he married Selina Grieves, daughter of a Ludlow chemist, John Edward Grieves.
In 1864, at the age of thirty-four, Robinson was forced to give up his studio due to ill-health from exposure to toxic photographic chemicals. Gernsheim (1962) has shown that thereafter he preferred the easier 'scissors and paste-pot' method of making his combination prints, rather than the more exacting darkroom method employed by Rejlander.
Relocating to London, Robinson kept up his involvement with the theoretical side of photography, writing the influential essay ''Pictorial Effect in Photography, Being Hints on Composition and Chiaroscuro for Photographers'', published in 1868. Around this time his health had improved sufficiently to open a new studio〔The (National Portrait Gallery ), London holds several examples of commercial portraits he made there〕 in Tunbridge Wells with Nelson King Cherrill, and in 1870 he become vice-president of the Royal Photographic Society. He advocated strongly for photography to be regarded as an art form.
The partnership with Cherrill dissolved in 1875, Robinson continuing the business until his retirement in 1888. Following internal disputes within the Photographic Society, he resigned in 1891 to become one of the early members of the rival Linked Ring society, in which he was active until 1897, when he was also elected an honorary member of the Royal Photographic Society.
Robinson was an early supporter of the Photographic Convention of the United Kingdom and took part in this institution's long running debates about photography as an art form.〔British Journal of Photography July 14th 1999 pages 437 pp, Presidential address by William Crooke to the Photographic Convention of the United Kingdom, July 10, 1899.〕 He was invited to serve as the President of the PCUK in 1891 but, as he described later, 'I felt compelled to decline, knowing that I could not carry out the duties as they should be carried out, having a defect of voice which would not allow me to read my own address'. He was subsequently persuaded to serve as President in 1896, when his presidential speeches were read out by a colleague.〔British Journal of Photography July 17th 1896 pages 454 pp, Presidential address by H.P. Robinson to the Photographic Convention of the United Kingdom, July 13th 1896〕
He died and was buried in Tunbridge Wells in early 1901.
