| Henry White (1819–1903) | ||||||||||
| White, a British photographer and lawyer by profession, was active as an amateur photographer between 1854 and around 1864. Among the first to specialise in landscape photography, he set the standard for the genre in his time and was regarded as the finest in this field. He began exhibiting in 1855, when he won the gold medal at the Universal Exhibition in Paris, and soon drew the attention of photographic societies in England and Scotland. His work was shown at the Manchester Art Treasures Exhibition in 1857, followed by the International Exhibition in 1862. Later, in 1886, he received a gold medal at the Universal Exhibition of Photography in Brussels. A member of the Photographic Society, he eventually became its president. His subjects were predominantly rural scenes—rivers, fields, and vegetation—with many of his photographs set in Surrey. Highly celebrated during his lifetime, he was known for both his artistic talent and technical skill. | ||||||||||
