DescriptionPhotograph from an album of 132 cyanotypes on cream wove paper.Beneath the curved roof of the Salisbury greenhouse stands a hunter next to a Canada goose shot toward the end of the migratory season. A number of photographs can be seen in the cabinet behind the hunter. One of them depicts a potted plan, suggesting they are by Coulson or his father. With its year-round natural light, the greenhouse would have been an ideal place to develop cyanotypes.
