Henry Peach Robinson (b. Ludlow July 9, 1830 – d. February 21, 1901) was a British pioneer Pictorialist photographer who made combination prints that joined multiple negatives to form a single image (photomontage).
At the age of thirty-four, Robinson was forced to give up his medium because of a condition brought on by exposure to toxic chemicals used in the photographic process. However, Robinson continued his involvement, writing the influential essay “Pictorial Effect in Photography, Being Hints on Composition and Chiaroscuro for Photographers,” published in 1868. In 1891, he helped found the photographic society, the Linked Ring.
