'It was a way for me to understand my progress as a photographer: to see what has changed, and what has stayed the same, both in my work and in the world. It has allowed me to see how everything is connected’ - Martin Parr

‘The tree was common motif for photographers and photographs were widely exhibited, from the earliest exhibitions such as the 1852 Society of Arts exhibition to the later society and club shows held across Britain from the 1880s. The growth of pictorialist photography espoused by Henry Peach Robinson from the end of the 1850s gathered pace from the 1870s, further reinforcing the tree as a subject for photography. Trees were largely unaffected by movement, except with full leaf canopies in wind, were central to a photograph or used as a framing device. Photography’s technical limitations had little effect on the photographer securing a successful photograph. More substantively, the tree spoke to the Victorian sense of the picturesque. Gnarled trunks and branches, changed across the seasons. It was a relationship that was integral to the landscape and spoke to a past that, by the end of the century, was changing under the modernisation of agriculture.’
