Edwin Hale Lincoln, American, 1848-1938
Born in Westminster, Massachusetts, Lincoln went into the photographic business in Brockton in 1876. He pioneered photographing yachts under full sail in Newport, Rhode Island and became one of the first photographers to specialize in documenting large estates. On commission, he photographed the mansions of Newport and Lenox, Massachusetts in their turn-of-the-century splendor. In the 1890s, Lincoln settled in the Berkshires and began an extensive photographic study of New England wild flowers. He published his photographs over a 30 year period in a handmade, small-edition folio of platinum prints called Wild Flowers of New England. Lincoln's wildflower studies were widely used in university botany departments and in schools of fine art. He also made studies of trees, orchids, and landscapes. Lincoln photographed with an 8 x10 view camera and printed primarily on platinum paper.
While many photographers of the day were working in the soft focus and painterly mode of Pictorialism, Lincoln's photographs were influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement. His "straight" and direct style continued a long American tradition.
