Robinson, Henry Peach

(born July 9, 1830, Ludlow, Shropshire, Eng.—died Feb. 21, 1901, Tunbridge Wells) British photographer. Tiring of doing portraits, he turned to “high art” photographs, which imitated the anecdotal genre paintings popular at the time, creating them by pasting together parts of several negatives (“combination printing”). His photograph Fading Away (1858), depicting the peaceful death of a young girl surrounded by her grieving family, skillfully combines five different negatives. He used costumed models to shoot bucolic scenes in his studio. His Pictorial Effect in Photography (1869) was for decades the most influential book in English on photographic practice.
