Portfolio of Pictures by A. Horsley Hinton is a 1897 photographic by Alfred Horsley Hinton, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a quiet photo of a pond surrounded by trees. The water is still, reflecting the tall trees and a soft sky. The colors are mostly browns and grays, with a few lighter spots where the light hits the water. The artist signed it in the corner, and the title says "Merton Meadows." This photo looks like it was taken a long time ago, but it still feels peaceful. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.

Alfred Horsley Hinton carried a wooden camera like a second body—he lugged it up British hills, through misty valleys and mill towns, always hunting the perfect soft light over water.
