''There was such a large amount of material in
England, Scotland and Wales, especially since I did not confine myself to sunshine scenes, for I found the character of the
British Isles so definitely linked up with their erratic climate that it was necessary to record all the moods if a true canvas
was to be painted. However, I eventually arrived in Ireland, and felt, in Eire particularly, that I had come to one of 'many
strange places' ''. -E.O. Hoppé. Hundred Thousand Exposures.
''Mr. Hoppé has seized the period before
the change which is coming; and which some dread and others desire . He has not been compelled to go to specially preserved
beauty spots, or to special buildings embedded in the hectic and feverish disease of twentieth century development. He has
wondered through these islands; selecting indeed many historic places familiar through the world , but also landscapes and
seascapes and old houses and churches of which he could have found many similar examples. Here is the England and to more
limited extent the Wales, Scotland and Ireland, which our ancestors have seen and rejoiced in for so many passing generations''. -Charles F. Masterman. Picturesque Great Britain.
