William Grundy (1850-1859) '[Two men poling and fishing],' Picturesque Ramblings in Old England. Hand-tinted albumen prints. |
 |
Grundy has invoked a dreamy floating world here. The fishermen and their punt are in a perfectly still backwater where the reflections are or should be nearly mirror perfect. The terrestrial world has been rendered soft-focus green and the sky a dull peach, yet the water reflects a mottled blue. They are floating in what reads as one moves ones eyes to the right as an alternate sky. Water, world and sky inter-penetrate in fantastic ways. No further notes |

William Grundy (1850-1859) 'In Sutton Coldfield Park.' Hand-tinted albumen prints. |
 |
I love the crazy, obsessive detail with which William Gilpin, in Remarks on Forest Scenery (1790), discusses depictions of plants and what makes them beautiful. I see what happens when I apply his ideas on ferns, to this stereoview by Grundy. |

William Grundy (-) 'Just by the Conway Falls, North Wales.' Hand-tinted albumen prints. |
 |
I saw a lot happening in the sometimes crazy ways that space is defined in this tinted view – particularly the ways that tinting and albumen surface create contradictory spatial tensions. I was wondering whether Cézanne may have seen and been influenced by such views (see Bantjes, Rod. 2017. “‘Perspectives Bâtardes’: Stereoscopy, Cézanne, and the Metapictoral Logic of Spatial Construction.” History of Photography 41(3):262-85.) |

This is an unmarked stereocard, but I know it is Grundy because of the aesthetics of the view and the location along this canal which appears in others of his views.No further notes |

William Grundy? (-) 'The Gill Cumberland.' Albumen prints. |
 |
This unmarked view "feels" like a Grundy. How exactly does an author give a stylistic signature to a photograph? A previous collector has pencilled on the back "Grundy?" and also "superb effect." I agree and I think the 3D power of it comes from the way the stream cuts a diagonal channel that marks space stereoscopically. The near bank functions as what I have called a "lateral groundrow" overlapping and defining the space behind it. No further notes |
