Arthur Boswell

The Photo above is from a lifetime collection (1880-1966) of early Victorian photographs taken by Arthur Boswell. The series is called "Illuminated Worlds," and documents Boswells travels around the world including the African plains, Norwegian fjords and Italian cities.  Little is known about Boswell or his subjects; regardless, I find them captivating.  The cropping paired with the almost mystical scenery gives the photo a sense of surrealism that modern photographers are always trying to achieve.  Additionally, the framing of this photograph gives the sensation that you are peaking in on a different world entirely, stunning!
