From 1910 to 1950 Frank Osborne travelled
the county recording rural landscapes, places of interest,
and village scenes in photographs that reflect a more tranquil
age. As well as portraits of Thaxted, Harlow, Maldon, and
Saffron Walden (to name a few at random), there are seascapes
at Paglesham, Foulness, and Wivenhoe, rural scenes at Mundon,
Hatfield Forest, and Rochford, and buildings at Tollesbury,
Finchingfield, and Purleigh.
The pictures are supported by relevant
quotations from Essex authors like Addison, Maxwell, Wentworth
Day, and Yearsley. The photographs are now in the collection
of the Bishop of Brentwood, who has contributed an introduction
to Frank Osborne and his pictures.
