Abstract (en)

Considers the problem of the intervention of photography in visual culture, its relationship to history, and the endowment of meaning on the photograph by the viewer, using as a basis the juxtaposition of an oil painting, Convent Thoughts, by Collins (Oxford, Ashmolean Museum) and a photograph by Gertrude Jekyll, The Giant Lily and examining what each conveys and how.
