Henry Peach Robinson

Henry Peach Robinson (1830-1901) was an English photographer. His photos appear to attempt to capture the feeling of Victorian genre painting.

What follows is a series of four photos depicting the tale of "Little Red Riding Hood" - an early use of photography as storytelling!
