This is a photograph by Clementina Hawarden, an early British photographer. It shows Woodcock Grove, the country estate where she and her husband lived part-time. She framed the shot to highlight a big central tree. The branches stretch past the photo’s top edge, hinting at a whole wooded area. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of her work.
This photograph by Clementina, Lady Hawarden depicts a view of Woodcock Grove in Dundrum, County Tipperary, Ireland, where she and her husband resided when not in London. The composition centers on a prominent tree whose branches extend beyond the frame, while another tree on the right suggests the density of the surrounding woodland. The image, created using collodion wet plate negatives and albumen printing paper, was likely exhibited at the Photographic Society of London’s annual exhibitions. A possible double exposure or lens effect appears on the left side of the print.
