Platinum print, After the drawing by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones Circa 1874 395 x 390mm. (15 1/2 x 15 3/8 in) Frederick Hollyer was from a family of engravers, but developed an interest in photography in the 1860s. His preferred process was the 'platinotype', or platinum print, for its rich tonal range. He collaborated closely with several artists in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, most notably Burne-Jones, Frederick Lord Leighton, and George Frederic Watts, and was considered to have been as important in promoting their work visually as Ruskin had been in writing, even prompting the artists themselves to re-evaluate their work, thereby recording early states that would otherwise be unknown to us.
