William James Day is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

William James Day took sharp, well-lit photographs around the year 1900, often catching everyday moments like the blacksmith shoeing a horse. These pictures feel immediate because of the way light plays on metal and leather. If you like the quiet drama of early photography, tap Shoeing a Horse to see how a single frame can freeze an old craft in time.
