DescriptionSUN ARTISTS was a 19th-century British journal devoted to photography. This January 1890 issue Number 2 contains text by Andrew Pringle and four photogravures by Henry Peach Robinson. H. P. Robinson was the leading proponent of Pictorial Effect. This was a style of photography that emulated painting by asembling multiple negatives to create a picture. This photogravure titled CAROLLING, depicts five women in a landscape.
