Wild Flowers as They Grow : Photographed in Colour Direct From Nature

Born in 1883 Henry Essenhigh Corke began working at his father’s photographic studio in Sevenoaks in Kent in 1901. He must have been both enthusiastic and gifted because he was elected a a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society in 1905 at the very young age of 22. In 1910 when his father retired he took over the management of the studio, and at about the same time their advertising changed to ‘Portrait, Landscape and Architectural Photographers’ to reflect their new wider interests.
Henry must have been fascinated by the cutting edge of photography, because within a few years he was not only exhibiting work but giving lectures and practical demonstrations at the Royal Photographic Society. In 1909, for example, he spoke about his work trialling colourscreenplates, in 1912 on his studio work and then later in the year about autochrome photography.
