Wharfe and Pool, Below the Strid. Artist: Roger Fenton (British, 1819-1869). Dimensions: Image: 34.5 x 28.2 cm (13 9/16 x 11 1/8 in.)Mount: 56.8 x 44.9 cm (22 3/8 x 17 11/16 in.). Date: 1854.The river Wharfe in Yorkshire was a favorite with tourists in Fenton's time. The setting of Bolton Priory (known as Bolton Abbey) on a promontory overlooking the river inspired Turner and was praised by Ruskin. Fenton may have made this image on his first photographic expedition through Yorkshire in 1854. He showed his views of Bolton and its surroundings, together with those of Fountains and Rievaulx, at the annual exhibition of the Photographic Society in January 1855. These photographs established him as a master of architectural and landscape photography.Boldly facing into the sun, Fenton chose to focus his lens on that part of the river where the water, after rushing through the turbulent pass of the Stride, a rocky channel a few feet wide, slows down and settles into a pool.
