This is a photograph from around 1900. Charles Jones took it of a door at Ote Hall, a private estate in Sussex. Jones worked there as a gardener and took up photography as a side interest. He snapped everyday things—like train crashes or snake eggs—but also made quiet studies of pears. His photos stand out for showing plain beauty in simple objects.
