Alfred Wilkinson 1869 - 1940

Alfred Wilkinson was an active member of the Adelaide Camera Club from the first decade of the century to the early 1930s, working in the pictorial mode then in vogue - photos showing a hazy and indistinct image. This work is possibly one of his contributions to the 1924 exhibition of the Australian Salon in Sydney.

The photograph depicts two draught horses pulling a plough held by a man who walks behind. They are seen moving away and to the left into a landscape which is bland, and not typically Australian.

Like all photographs in the pictorial mode, it has the softness of a misty painting.
