Reflections on the phenomenon of landscape - images of land - as
an introduction to the landscape photographs by Werner
Hannappel, Willie Doherty and Nigel Fogg published in this issue
of Creative Camera. Remarkable is the reproduction of a
landscape by the Canadian photographer Humphrey Lloyd Hime ""The
Prairie on the Bank of the Red River, Looking South'', made
during the Assiniboine and Saskatchewan Exploring Expedition in
1858: a stained photograph depicting only a flat horizon, a
nondistinct prairie foreground, and a white sky. Comparisons are
made with Timothy O'Sullivan's 'Survey' landscapes, and with
Hamish Fulton's ""Donegal Horizon'', which consists of nothing
more than a printed text.
