[ Photographs ] Job, Charles Group of 6 Pictorialist images of rustic interiors, woodlands and lakeside vistas in England and Normandy. Carbon prints, approximately 14 x 9.75 inches or the reverse, 3 signed and 4 titled by the photographer, and one titled in a later hand on verso, one with a penciled caption, in a later hand, on mount verso, and 2 with exhibition labels, one from Paris and one from the Smithsonian Institution, affixed to verso or mount verso. 1920s E2000-3000 Charles Job, who began photographing in 1870, was an English Pictorialist whose works followed the tradition set by Peter Henry Emerson-that of capturing the life and rural setting of English countryfolk. Job's prints became known internationally, were praised by, among others, Alfred Stieglitz in Camera Work, and were published with regularity in the British periodical Photograms Of The Year. Like many of his Pictorialist colleagues Job utilized a variety of print techniques, including the platinum, gum bichromate and bromoil processes, however his preferred method was the carbon print, a technique which allowed him to express his Impressionistic concerns.
