Excerpt from Practical Pictorial Photography, Vol. 1: Illustrated, Practical Instructions in the Application of Photography to Artistic EndsN ow I submit that if by a representation of any object or objects I wish to convey to others my impression of such objects or conditions, or to, as it were, interpret them in the manner they impressed me - not, mark you, to show what those objects and conditions were really like, but the ideas they prompted in me~ - then I shall probably do it best by a general outline, or by the portrayal of the chief items only, perhaps simultaneously exaggerating and distorting some what in order to serve my end, but I shall omit the details, partly because their introduction would not help the matter and partly because if the impression made upon me by the original scene was a very powerful one, then most probably I should have been unconscious of and be blind to petty details, my mind being pre-occupied by the force of the general effect.It is not a question of what the eye sees or might see detail was doubtless there if we stopped to look at it, and still more of it might have been discoverable had we sought longer and moreover, to the mind of a man without much imaginative faculty, who is not easily or greatly moved by effects which might thrill the sensibilities of another, but one who instinctively rather investigates and analyses, details would perhaps strike and impress him before the general effect which had so absorbed and, so to speak, dazzled the other.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
