About this artwork

Annan was one of the first to use the Kodak snapshot camera and this picture of two monks, taken in Venice, demonstrates both his interest in the capture of movement and his printing skill. This photogravure conjures up the glaring heat of a dusty road and the almost audible rustle of the men's robes.
